Autoplay function is disabled, possible malware

Dear TechSpot,

Recently, when insert DVD-R which is data backuped DVD, it won't autplay to show: choose programs to show, or open the folder.

Why this happened ? Below the describtion...

4 days ago, I formatted my hard drive and decided to use free DVD Burn programs. I downloaded "InfraRecorder" and used it to erase the CD-RW. Unfortunately, after click the erase, my computer was stop. Therefore, I use "Ctrl + Alt + Del" to stop the job and uninstalled it. After that, I download the "DeepBurner" and used it to make 7 data DVDs. (I forgot to enable Comodo Firewall when I download the "DeepBurner") After finished burning, I re-inserted one of the Data DVD. But it didn't "Autoplay". I already tried different data DVDs; they don't work either. In addition, I have "Alcohol 120%" and its virtual DVD Rom's icon doesn't change when I amount the ISO files.

I believe some bad spyware infected my computer or cause of the bad setting "InfraRecorder"

Here is my attachment:

It is likely that your optical drive has gone bad. They do not last long if heavily used. You might try to download their latest firmware to resolve the initial problem.
