Hello Donna M.... Welcome to GeeksToGo,
Are you sure your system is clean now? If not then you might want to have GTG Malware Techs take a look through your logs. I will supply the information at the end of this reply.
I'm sorry to hear about your issue. We will try to help you resolve this as soon as possible.
Please understand we are all volunteers and we are not here all the time. Sometimes it may be a extended amount of time to get back to you. If it has been more then 3 days please shoot me a PM and I will try to get back to you quickly then.
Let's have you uninstall the DVD-Drive and then have you reboot and let windows reinstall the drivers for it. To do this, do the following:
----------------------------
If after rebooting you are still having problems, try the following:
Click Start then Run and type regedit...click "Ok"
In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SYSTEM, then CurrentControlSet, then Control, then Class, and click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Right click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and choose Export. Name this file "filters" and save it to your desktop. This file can be deleted when it is determined it is no longer needed.
In the right pane, if either UpperFilters or LowerFilters are present, right click on it and choose Delete...accept the deletion. Delete both if they are both present.
Close Registry Editor and reboot.
----------------------------
If after doing that your drive still doesn't show up, please download CDGone from HERE. Once it's downloaded, extract the files to your desktop and open the READ ME FIRST.TXT file and follow the instructions there.
Post back with how things are going after doing the above.

- Go to START-->RUN and type devmgmt.msc
- In the new window that appears, click the + symbol next to CD/DVD-ROM Drives.
- Locate the drive in question and right-click it and choose UNINSTALL.
- Once it's finishing uninstalling, reboot your computer.

Sorry forgot the Malware instructions. Here you go.
I suggest you go to the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post the reguested logs in THAT forum. If you are unable to run any of the tools then start a new topic in the malware forum and put this in the subject line...I am unable to run any malware tools
If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
Add a link to this topic so that malware tech can see what steps have been taken here
