when it open just close it, that should fix the problem

it isnt so much a virus i made somthing similar to itit ran with to files first i made a AUTOEXEC.BAT to run a special vbs script that opened and closed your cd rom drive and if you re install windows dont do a quiqk format or open your computer and clear your bios about 2 or 3 times cuz it could still have not cleared it or start windows hit "alt ctrl del" AND GO to process and look for wscript.exe then close it and if that stops it hit START run msconfig go to start up and check some stuff off is you re install windows it probably wont help since that file is backdoored

This could be a real problem, but it might just be worth checking if the opening and closing is being caused by a virus.

Mucking around with a CD drive is quite easy to do and so virus writing morons like to cause trouble. It would be worth checking for viruses/trojans etc before you start doubting your hardware.
