Hi everyone! Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate them.

For the record my Kindle is fairly new (October 2010), and I have added no more than 50 books into it. I also tried searching for a random string and no book appear to be unindexed.

Here's a screenshot of the page:

What I suspect to be a virus is Flashy.exe (my biggest problem), documents.exe and system.exe. I think they're viruses because I have encountered these viruses in the past. Back in the middle of October, I hooked my Kindle to a PC laptop which turned-out to be infested with a very strong virus. Even after we reformatted the laptop the virus persisted. This virus also deleted all my USB files and some files in my external drive, including some graduation photos. So while the virus did not do anything as drastic as my Kindle as the virus did to my laptop, USB, and EHD, I was thinking that perhaps it's still affecting the performance of my Kindle.
