When I try to open my C: drive....it cannot be opened by the usual normal double click. A message comes up stating "Please go to control panel to install and configure system components". Whats this? is it a virus?
To open my C drive I right click it and I see, Open, Autorun and a strange word 'òª¿(O). I press Open and see the contents of C Drive. From where did autorun and 'òª¿(O) come from. Is this part of a trojan virus that I had on my PC. How to clean up?

I run AVG and AVAST visus scanners, + Ad-ware and SpyBoot as well. I also have the Comodo Firewall. In am working on Windows XP SP1. The thing is that I have found viruses and cleaned them. What I have noticed is that this problem has started since my internet connection got messud up. My broadband connection is not staying always on. I am not having a stable connection. Could this be the cause? also anyone can say what does this mean - 'òª¿(O)?

run a thorough scan in the system i.e registry, spyware, etc etc and try trojan removal software not antivirus software and if you can access files or programs on c drive through their shortcuts you could try and install OS i.e. repair install or you could install in d: drive and format c: drive and then again install OS in c: and uninstall os in d: by going to windows\system32. you should probably try out the instructions given by the OS when you try opening c: if all this doesnt work and if further problems occur go for formatting it.

It's a trojan virus. My friend had the same problem. Update your anti-virus software.

Sounds like the hard disk is corrupted. Reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows.

There is nothing wrong with your computer it is simply that your CD drive motor has gone.
