Post #1
My CD-ROM disc drive has been open and closing on its own intemittently - often 10-20 times in a minute. I ran a HijackThis scan, and my log is below. Can someone help me identify what's causing this, and anything in the log, which is problematic. Thanks for your help.

Hello abelman
HijackThis is in a zip file.
If you run it out of a compressed file, like a zip file, instead of running it from a directory, the backups will not be made.

After unzipping the file. you'll end up with the file itself, which is Hijackthis.exe, and that's the one you'll need to doubleclick.'

Please go to you're 'My Documents' folder, right-click and select 'New > Folder' then name the folder 'HJT'.
Copy and paste HijackThis.exe to the new folder.

Please go to add and remove programs and remove,
WinTools

Close all Browser and Program Windows and have HijackThis fix the following by checking the box beside each and then clicking on Fix checked.
