Little white things !

Hi everyone!
I've been visiting some family, and my mother in law has an orchid that didn't look very fresh !
Let me explain , first a lot of the roots where dead, and as I was removing them I've noticed that a lot of very small white balls were present on the bark and the roots. When I say small is really small, as big a the head of a needle ! No animals were present so I don't think it is eggs, and it does look like a fungus.
Some new roots have been developing which is encouraging and the leaves look good, but I was wondering; first, what are they ? Second, if they could harm to the roots , and finally how do I get rid of them ?
cheers
