Answer 3

I’m not really sure what the box icon you refer to is, but it’s probably not related to this. Might be some soft of utility set to run on startup?

Answer 4

Hi Liza! This is Kenneth and thnks for answering my inquiry.

From what I researched that that particular Malware that you mention can be inserted as on boots up rthe computer and very difficult to find.

I thought it mentioned the DMA only protects after the computer has been booted and if I have that correct how is one to protect from malware at the bootibg stage.

Now I do not know if this is related however after I boot my computer, sign in and at the desktop for a about a second there is a white hand with a square box and pointing towards my folders. It is quite weird.

Again thanks,

Kenneth

Answer 5

Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

It basically protects your device drivers against malicious software, so they can’t be re-written and cause harm to your PC.

It’s not really directly related to online purchase protection, but I suppose if there is malware on your PC it could be grabbing online purchase details so there is a small link.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Elise
