Hello all, One of my managers wants me to come over and look at his PC. He's running Window ME (YUCK!!!) and he says whenever he is on-line, his CD ROM just starts opening and closing. He thinks it's a virus. I was thinking its just a bad CD ROM or Win ME.
Sidenotes, his process is 1GHz. That's he knows to tell me. I have a pretty far drive to go to his house and before I go I need some brainstorming ideals of what I should be looking for. He wants to avoid me reformatting his hardrive (I might have to if it is a virus and how long has it been on his PC). He also says has had McAfee but has never updated it cause he thought it was free. I suggested downloading and running AVG, Spy-bot or Ad-ware, and Spy Blaster.
Only suggestions I can think of are:
1. Suggest a new CD ROM/Burner
2. Install a more up-to-date OS
This is all the info I have to go on. Thanks in advance.
