Spyware Opens my CD-ROM Drive?

[eb7g]

Hi there

When I open Internet Explorer, I get a popup window that opens my CD-ROM
drives and tells me to buy a program from them that will get rid of
Spyware. Yes, Adware/Spyware at it's worse. The opening of the CD drives
is annoying. Has anyone had the same problem? Anyone have a solution?

Thanks

I suspect that what your pop-up creator is trying to do is further access
your system. The following three spyware detection/removal programs are
FREE; there is no cost.

spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download

cwshredder http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download

I believe spybot asks for a donation which is up to you.
