I think you mean DVD. There is no way to load a virus onto a CD. The virus must be safely downloaded, perhaps in a zip. file and then burned onto the DVD. The victim must then install the program.

The virus must have been saved or burnt into the CD

It is possible - if a recordable CD was in the drive at the time the computer was infected - then there's a high chance the virus was also copied to the CD.

Are audio CDs virus free?

Yes, if you purchase an audio CD from the store it will be virus free. Though, if you burn a CD or rip a burned CD to your computer that has audio files on it from file sharing programs such as Limewire and Frostwire then it does have a chance of having a virus on it. iTunes downloads are also virus free, and if they are burned onto a CD they will remain virus free. Hope this helps.
