    The same exact thing happened to me <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    did it open up your notepad aswell as opening the cd drive? Im pretty sure that the only reason it opens is because of a javascript but don't take my word on that.

    If anyone wants the link to the website just PM me.

    Dude, the only reason your CD tray opens is because of some java script on the website... It has nothing to do with spyware...Its just a trick. Alot of websites have that somwhere on them. There was a link somewhere where it said "click for free cupholder" and it opened your tray. Get it? funny? But seriously, the only way your tray would not open up is if your browser didn't support whatever code that was. It has nothing to do with a virus either, alot of webpages have the code that sets your homepage to a some random thing, and it only takes a second to set it back.
