Do you have a Dell computer ?
That part enables the Dell recovery partition , alter the MBR and you will not be able to easilly access it

When you say “that part”, what are you referring to?
Thanks.

I believe essexboy is referring to the unknown MBR in the MBRCheck log (Reply #33 and #34 above):
\.\PhysicalDrive0 Unknown MBR code
Since the Dell needs to be able to access its recovery partition/recovery console the actual MBR is a custom MBR ‘e.g. unknown’ rather than it being recognised as a Default Windows XP MBR code.
Correct, if your MBR was reset to standard then if you need to restore your computer to factory settings, it would fail as the necessary information would no longer exist

Can we conclude that there is no TDL4 on my computer and my computer is clean?
By the way, I am not aware of the recovery ability of Dell MBR. Do you know by chance how to use it?
I don’t remember when but it did happen that I suddenly have two more local drives on my computer besides the C:. The computer generated them on its own sometime after I had only one local drive for at least two years. Are they the recovery partition you talk about?
Thank you everyone.

Thank you very much for all your help.
But can I do e-commerce on my computer now? Is it ok?

As a matter of prudence I would recommend that you change all your sensitive passwords just in case they were gathered. Although I saw no indication of that
