This issue *may* be malware related. Open the Services console by going
to Start Run type in

services.msc
Click OK or press Enter
Look under the ' Description ' heading and go over the list of services.
When you find a service with no Description, write down the service
Name and post back with it here. There may be more than one service
which lacks a Description. If so, please include all such listings.

NOTE: Removable Storage has no Description but it is a legitmate one.
