Pedro's computer is acting up, which could be a sign of a virus. Firmware is a type of software that is permanently embedded in hardware devices, so it is unlikely to be the issue in this case. Windows Firewall is a tool designed to protect against unauthorized access to a computer or network, but it would not cause issues with the computer's performance. "Software" is too broad of a term and does not provide enough specific information.
