Pop-up that opens CD tray?

Mar 7, 2004 8:33PM PST

Has anyone seen this lately? I have seen it in 2 machines, have run Adaware, Spybot S&D, Hijack THis!, and CWShredder, and the cd tray will still not stay closed.
What did I miss?

Pop-up that opens CD tray?
*******************

Can you provide a URL that does this?

Perhaps this is just random while surfing?

I run a hosts file and see very few pop-ups or this cd opening nonsense.

ROFL - I "thought" I was prepared - suddenly my CD Rom tray door opened, tray came out - then DVD door opened and DVD tray came out!! Good, I didn't have more doors and trays which could be opened Happy

Geez this is like IM.

All I got was a picture of a closed cd unit.

After waiting for a minute or so for something to happen I thought 'I must be missing the point here'.

no security pop-ups asking me if I wanted to allow something.

I did NOT get a pop-up

asking me to allow it - "it" suddenly opened the first door - then the tray - then the 2nd door opened and the 2nd tray came out and stayed that way till I pushed it back.

wonder why it does NOT happen with your computer.

Just FYI

Win XP Pro SP1, WMP 9, + most if not all critical update/patches.

I try the first link, I only see a forum thread with a 'script' nothing happen to my CD.

The second site, I only see a changing picture of CD (closed, then open etc..) but Nothing happened on my CD.
