A computer virus is a small program that infects a computer without the user permission. It attaches itself to other files and quickly multiplies.
It is strongly recommended that you use an antivirus program on your computer and that you keep it updated. This will prevent any infection and clean your computer if it was infected previous to the install.
You are infected with a virus if:
- Your computer is very slow, stops responding, restarts or shuts down by itself from time to time.
- Your hard disk or the removable drives (floppy drive, CD-ROM, USB Flash) are inaccesibles or the files are corrupt.
- Unusual error messages appear.
In case your computer got infected, try the following:
- Get an antivirus program (if you don't have one already)
- Update your antivirus
- Scan all your computer and delete, repair or quarantine the infected files.
- Have an antivirus program and update it from time to time (some even update automatically)
- Use a firewall.
- Only download files from sources you trust.
- Don't open e-mail attachments, unless you know who sent it.
- For more protection you can scan your computer with online scanners provided free by some of the best companies.

How do you remove CD drive from dell inspiron 2200?
Flip the laptop over so that the rubber feet are facing up. Remove the screw in the center of the laptop with the picture of a lock near it. This is the only thing keeping the cdrom drive from sliding out of the laptop. If it doesn't come out easily, you may need to power up the laptop, open up the cdrom tray, power off the laptop (while the cdrom tray is still open) then repeat procedure above - however, you'll now have the cdrom tray to use as a handle to pull out the entire cdrom drive.

Computer says to reboot and insert cdrom for windows I do not have the CD any longer for my notebook laptop?
There will be a Windows label somewhere, probably on the back of the case. On it there is a Product Key. Write to Microsoft, give them the Product Key and for a small charge they should replace your Windows CD.
