I have recently had to go through quite a process to get ride of a nasty virus from Internet Explorer. After this process, I am aware that Windows keeps trying to show that I have an "E: CD-Rom Drive" available, in My Computer, when it actually it is not there. The physical drive that is in the computer is showing up and functioning properly. The "Ghost" drive is not showing up in the Device Manager. I do have an Acomdata External drive which normally showed up as the E: drive in which you'd click when it was turned on then mount it with your password credentials and then the drive was accessible. When I turn this drive on it assigns it "F: Drive" and then once mounted shows up as "G: Drive." Basically, it is showing up there when it's not supposed to be. I have read a former posting, to see what advice was offered. The link is: "Ghost" CD-drive in Windows Explorer, no physical drive existant, not removable
I would appreciate any advice or further questioning that may help me pinpoint where the problem is. Thanks very much.
