I have found an entry for Drv in Add/Remove Programs. What might it be, or how can I find out ?

A program like Process Explorer might help you identify the parent to this entry. It may also help you figure out where in your system Drv resides.

Geepers, Jeber! Where ya been hiding? I've not seen you in a month of sundays.

As for "Drv", just use Windows Search to find it . Then Google it.
A quick Google search turned up this:
http://www.auditmypc.com/drv.asp

You'll probably want to Delete it.

Then get yourself some better Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware software.
Malware Bytes would probably be a good place to start.

Hello,

If you take a look in the system registry under the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall] key, do you find an entry for a program named "Drv"? If so, perhaps some of the registry entries under it will give a location to a file or other information you can look at on the system or search for on the Internet to determine what created the entry.
