help needed - HijackThis logfile (cd-rom opens/closes)

Expand Post »
Hi, I have the following problem...

The cd-rom on my dad's computer opens and closes continuously, the computer is obviously infected. First I suspected the problem was spyware. I tried: Adaware, SpyBot Search and Destroy, SpySweeper and others but this hasn't fixed the problem. Now I suspect the problem may be a Trojan, but I am not sure, I'm just guessing. What is a/some reputable free trojan remover(s) I could try?

I have included a HijackThis logfile below.

Thanks, Daniela.

Not at all; the problem could be caused by a number of things. Did SpyBot, Ad Aware, etc. turn up anything that makes you suspect a malicious infection?

Personally, I'd look for non-malicious causes first; it's been a loooong time since I've seen an "unwelcomed" program that mucks with CD drives in the way you describe.

Re: help needed - HijackThis logfile (cd-rom opens/closes)

Thanks for the reply DMR.

Technicians at the retailer where the computer was bought (a major Australian homeware/electronics chain) have looked at the computer twice and have removed spyware but the problem persists.

...well we've also tried un-installing and re-installing the cd-rom driver but this hasn't worked. (The computer is only 2 or 3 years old, I don't think the cd-rom would be faulty.) I've ruled out the idea of a keyboard shortcut controlling the cd-rom that could of been mistakenly activated - I don't think such a shortcut exists.

What other non-malicious causes/silly problems could be suspected?

Perhaps not, but until you test the posibility, you can't rule it out. Here are a few tests which could confirm or rule out a hardware problem:

- Change the ribbon (data) cable between the drive and the motherboard.
- If the motherboard has two IDE channels, connect the drive to the other channel. Pay attention to Master/Slave jumper settings when moving the drive.
- Install a known-to-be-working drive in place of the problematic one.
- Install the problematic drive in another computer.


Your HJT log shows no signs of "unwanted guests", and the utilities you've already run do a pretty godd job of cleaning, so I've no reason so far to believe that malicious infections are the cause. However, if you want to dig a bit deeper into that possibility, here are a few other detection and removal tools you can try:

Re: help needed - HijackThis logfile (cd-rom opens/closes)

Thanks for all your advice DMR. The problem has been solved. Having went through the whole virus/spyware/malware cleaning thing we assumed the cd-rom must be faulty, we bought and installed a new DVD burner and it seems to have solved the problem.

Thanks again.
