Those dvd drives are a relatively cheap component (ca £17) and easy enough to replace, especially seeing as the only tool you need is a screwdriver.

Bit of a problem -

In the last day or so "Cyber Security" keeps flashing up saying my laptop is full of malware, trojans etc and i need to give them $80 to fix it. I went to "add/remove programmes" and when i go to remove it the f**ker keeps flashing up. How else can i terminate this boyo. I have Avast anti-virus and ran Spybot yesterday and today.

Try downloading Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
the free version is grand.

If have trouble running in normal mode try it in safe mode.

Reboot in safemode as said above and go to add/remove programmes and do it again. If that doesn't work you may need to go in and manually delete any folders belonging to "cyber security" from the registry.

To do this go to start, run
type in regedit and hit enter.

Browse to Hkey CUrrent user, software and look for any folder with "cyber security" on them. Right click on them and select delete.

Do the same on Hkey Local Machine, Software

That should do the trick -

Note: be very careful in registry not to delete the wrong folder!

OK some help please my browsers on my laptop are not working, everything else internet wise is working

[Mhic Easmuint]

How many have you installed?
Have you done scans for virus/malware?
How do you know internet is fine if none of the browsers are working?

[ross4life]

firefox & explorer, done scans found nothing! i must have turned off some setting? internet is working as i can work Msn messenger & yahoo messenger

[Mhic Easmuint]

Sounds like a firewall issue or something. 
Port 80 might be blocked. 
What antivirus have you installed?  Try disabling it, or the Firewall on it. 

[ross4life]

antivirus i have are Avast & i have malwarebytes & super anti spyware

i did try disabling them but no change, whereabouts is port 80?

Reboot in Safe mode with networking to see if you can access the internet with the browsers.

You don't have an old copy of Norton or any other antivirus installed?
