As soon as I connect to the internet and open ie, my cd tray pops out and a popup window shows up and tells me that my cd tray is open and I should buy a certain spyware remover. also it resets my homepage to MSN every few days. veeeery annoying. I ran adaware and spybot. I didn't get any result. I pretty much just copied that from another post I found, but no solution was there, so I must ask again.

Probably, your IE has a plug-in which does this. Try this trick to remove: - From IE, Click on the menu Tools/Internet Options - Click on the button Settings then View Objects, in the Objects Windows, make a right click on the strange plug-ins and uninstall them.
