The label is pretty much what you want to call the hard drive (I prefer Fuknut myself). It has nothing to do with a physical label stuck onto the drive.

I would look on google for lavasoft. They have a nice program called Ad-aware that looks for and deletes virus-like but legal programs piggy-backed onto downloads. If you havent run it you probably have at least one.

GLuck.
