Maybe not the drive itself but the software that runs it yes.

Go to this link, download the free version, run it and relax!

PS... stay off the midget pron!!! and House of Pepe's Donkey Show website!!!

Download the latest AVG & SUPERAntiSpyware software & that will make sure you don't get any more viruses...

Yes a DVD/CD can cripple a DVD/CD drive. Its happened to me twice. From the same disc. Even with Anti Virus software.
