    Trojan~

    Well, could be a really unlikely power issue, but popping open a cd drive is one of the oldest tricks trojans could do.

    Reinstall windows.

    You should probably stop looking at risque porn sites and/or clicking random links to "pics" from an AIM or MSN buddy.

    Do you have Anti-virus/Anti-Spyware/Firewall turned on? If not try downloading a few of the free ones and see if it can clean the infection. If not, just reinstall and make sure you A) get all windows updates B) use a anti-virus client (free is good, paid is better!) C) use some sort of firewall

    Re: CD drive...

    Is it still happening or was it isolated?

    You used to be able to pop cd drives open with javascript, perhaps you were browsing a prank site?

    Still does it. Well, I should add they I reinstalled windows, I think, and maybe I didn't completely finish so it's asking for something? Not really too sure. I think I have a firewall... >_> I have Avast but it's saying my trial is almost over and I should purchase the full thing.... My HD crashed and I bought a new one, went to install windows on it and I ended up repairing or reinstalling or something windows and my crashed HD somehow works.
