in the past 2 weeks i have 5 or 6 instances where my cd-
rom door while open while i am in line. when this happens
a advertisement comes up saying that if my cd0rom door
just opened someone could have access to my computer and
may be spying. PLEASE help as this could damage my cd-rom
door.
 
1. Make sure that you have your firewall on. Windows XP comes with one by
default.

2. Install and run a Spyware removal software. You can get Ad-aware for
free at www.lavasoftusa.com
 
Run an up to date anti-virus program and delete the virus you have.

I agree with Wilson Rey--you have a piece of ad-ware in place which is
trying to scare you.

Either Lavasofts ad-aware or Spybot Search & destroy should be able to rid
you of this ghost in your machine:

www.lavasoftusa.com
www.safer-networking.org

In both cases, you download, install, and then update the definitions.
After updating the definitions, scan your machine.

With ad-aware, delete everything it finds.

With Spybot, delete everything marked in red.

Both free, both excellent quality useful programs.
