Reminds of that program my mom downloaded once that said
"We at the Coca-Cola company appreciate your business and so we are sending you a free cup holder"
and when you clicked ok the drive would open.

Virus?

Good chance of that.
Although i have run spybot. Ah well might aswell try it again.

Hmm, it opens right after it closes? If that's the case, is there maybe something blocking it from closing fully? Some drives will pop back open if they're blocked.

A virus wouldn't do that. It's probably a mechanical issue.

I dunno what's worse, the fact that you're probably lying or if not, the fact that you didn't check that first.

Jujubee?

I wonder if it's a Red or Yellow one, for they, they are Jujubee Royalty. Orange and Green, they are like peons.

What's a jujubee? it sounds like an exotic animal that looks like monkey but is about the size of a cat and eyes the size of a baseball :o if that's the case, WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE AN EXOTIC MONKEY THE SIZE OF A CAT WITH EYES THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL IN YOUR CD DRIVE?

Seriously, you need to get some help. I need to get some vodka.

My old comp did this once. It turned out that laser had burned out. It was a sad day when I had to remove my crap from that computer and trade it in for a working version.
My blawgh.

A friend of mine had a neat little chat program for LANs and he programmed a trojan into it for just this purpose.
