    Good morning. For the past couple of days I've been experiencing poor system performance especially when it comes to any kind of online MMO. So being the tech guy I first went into my device manager to see if there was anything in there thats out of the ordinary. Sure enough i have a icon under the USB icon that says "Unknown". The weird thing about it, is that they all look like system components and when I go to update them, the computer tells me to reboot after making the changes. But after the reboot, the unknowns are still there. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or had this problem before and had a solution. Pix attached. Thanks.
