Greetings Nopet,
Y'know,I make my kids use "Meebo "for messaging-no install needed-there are probably others like it-dunno about webcams.I couldnt say if its safer.
If I want to try something out,I Google "something reviews",then
"something problems",to see what its about.
Yeah there are a lot of scams located in Asia,be careful...,we are not exactly behind on tech stuff,just me :-D
If you follow all the "Read me and run" steps in Malware,then post logs as they tell you to,get a really thorough cleaning and advice,best anywhere.

Hi

Moved your question from the other thread as your issue is something different.

What Windows version are you using, include Service Pack level?
Have you had any malware on your PC, if so what? if not have you scanned for any?

What new software if any have you installed before this happened?
What software if any did you uninstall before this happened?

One likely cause is faulting upper and lower filters and this FAQ should help How to fix missing DVD/CD drives not showing up in windows explorer

but the more info you can supply at the beginning the more likelyhood that your issue may get fixed quickly.
