Izgleda da je problem sa praznim Device Managerom vrlo rasprostranjen u poslednja 2-3 dana. Najverovatniji krivac za to je spyware Apropos.
Symantec ima removal tool:

Takođe postoji još jedan fix (najčešće pominjano rešenje na raznim forumima):
Download AproposFix © Swandog46 from here:

Save it to your desktop but do NOT run it yet.
Then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.
Once in Safe Mode, double-click aproposfix.exe and unzip it to the desktop. Open the aproposfix folder on your desktop and run RunThis.bat. Follow the prompts.
