hi, i am running windows xp home. lately i have realized i cant access my disc drive when there is a disc in it. it is hooked up properly and i am 90% sure its a virus or malware. ex: i will double click on the drive to play the game (the drive has the icon of the game that is in the drive) it says to make sure the play disc is inserted. it is inserted and its in the correct drive, what should i run to get rid of a problem like this. i will have an attatchment file of Hijack this if that will help you.
Not seeing the disc in the drive

I have moved your thread to the correct forum.
Your system is infected with quite a few nasties.
You`re not running any antivirus or firewall software, this is very foolish and a huge security risk.
Please follow all the instructions below.
Download and install the free AVG antivirus programme and either the free Zonealarm or Kerio firewall programmes. You can get them HERE, HERE and HERE.
Install whichever firewall you chose, followed by AVG and reboot your system the required number of times. Run the AVG updates.
You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.
Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html
Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html
In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html
Run a full system scan with AVG and delete whatever it finds. This includes anything in the virus vault.
Reboot into normal mode, turn system restore back on and rehide your protected OS files.
Then, go HERE and follow all the instructions exactly.
Post fresh HJT and Ewido logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.
Regards Howard

The dodgy services are still there.
Download the Pocket Killbox programme from HERE. Extract it but don`t run it yet.
You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.

Close HJT.
Run the killbox.exe file. When it loads type the full path to the file you would like to delete in the field and check the delete file on reboot button. press the Delete File button (looks like a red circle with a white X). It will prompt you to reboot, select no until you have finished inputting the files you want to delete, only then allow it to reboot and hopefully your files will now be deleted.
These are the filepaths you need to enter into killbox.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cjnr4r4qboak.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dior4f4kwgpzj.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntps.exe
Once your system has rebooted, turn system restore back on and rehide your protected OS files.
Post a fresh HJT log and let me know how your system is running.
