Pedro's computer is likely infected with a virus, which is causing it to act up. A firmware issue would typically be related to hardware or system-level software, and would not cause the type of issues Pedro is experiencing. Windows Defender Firewall is a security feature designed to protect against network attacks, but it would not be causing issues with Pedro's computer directly. Software is too broad of a term to be a specific answer in this case, as Pedro's computer could be experiencing issues related to any number of software programs.
