Perhaps this could be the issue causing the CD-ROM drive to open?
Perhaps, but unlikely. The OP posted script code that he said was from the site and which quite clearly (and easily confirmed in simple system testing) would achieve what he described... Besides, if it wasn't the script code lifted from the suspect web page, there are several other viruses and Trojans that include CD tray opening, closing or cycling payloads. Further, many (probably most?) remote access Trojans include open/close the CD tray as one of their standard commands. Why would specifically single out this one? -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd. Ph/FAX: +64 3 3529854 _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
