CD drive opens and closes automatically.....

[BatchRocks]

I know a VBS script that does it on a loop, and it made my computer sound like a hurricane and crashed it!

Done.

  I thought that you could only run c code and get it to do that stuff.

Prepare a boot able floppy.
Boot from the flippy.
Let it sit for 10 minuets and see if the CD opens by itself.

We need to remove the malware first but honestly the CD tray sounds like a dist problem to me. Some argue it can't carry a current but I think it's been proven it can.

@globalpal_ooty - I suggest uninstalling the Paretlogic Driver Cure. (Unless it's a paid version). This company isn't trusted.

Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

- O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Alcmtr] ALCMTR.EXE
- O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [mpx] c:\WINDOWS\system32\mpx.exe

Important: Close all open windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

Once completed, exit HijackThis.

Go to Start > Run and type notepad.exe then click OK

Copy and paste the below into Notepad and save as fixme.reg to Your Desktop

Code: [Select]

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\Run]
"Alcmtr"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"mpx"=-

Locate fixme.reg on your Desktop and double-click it. Answer Yes when prompted to merge with the Registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it did not work.

Delete the fixme.reg from the Desktop.
