Is This A Virus ???

[Damon-Good]

Hi! I have a tiny little question and story to tell:

It happend 2 days ago and this message came up ( on the picture) like a program called MEDIA on my hard drive thingy well I have not put anything in the USB ports or a floppy disc or any normal disc or any microphone or somethine like that!

And I don't know how to remove it!
I tried to virus scan my computer in safe mode it found some adware and tiny viruses removed them and restarted the computer and still the message comes up!!
Any suggestion on how to remove that annoying thing ??
I really appreciate if someone could. Oh and no win32 jokes please I am not a dumbass...unless you are if you post one of those :)

Maybe you have some new hardware that needs to be installed.

[DudeGoofyGuy]

HARDWARE. That's crap on the outside of your computer. It's not a virus, but I dunno what it is. Might as well install the drivers. o_O

Yeah I know but maybe someone just put in their USB there and w00p the "virus" came up well I am not sure if I dare to install it though.

But it can't be a virus because it's hardware. Unless there's a virus ON the hardware, but you wouldn't have those effects until you loaded up the drivers. I'd run a search on your compy and find out what MEDIA is.

Good luck to you, my friend.

That would be Daemon Tools you got running there. Turn it off, I think you will stop getting the message.

[Tinkco86]

Here's a picture to show you what I mean.

Stop running CD .iso's of games.

Ahh, yes of course. You have got quite the eye, my fellow. I salute you for that.

[TwistedPersonality]

It happened to me some years before. Maybe you were installing something and the instalation was interrupted by something, so it never really completed.

not sure, though

[DevourerJay]

no its, not... you f-ing n00b...

I am not running any ISO's ... See for yourself but well I don't think its DAEMON tools anyway because I've had it on before too and this did not came up :S

[Madman08]

hardware? no

[UltraPulse]

Open hardware manager and delete MEDIA.

[Silverfang]

have you tried checking your device manager? see if anything has a question mark beside it.

[AlkaSeltzer]

I still think Daemon Tools may be to blame.

[Beezleboss]

i suggest

put all your things and files and shit onto a external hardrive

then install
it

then see if anything goes wrong if it does then youve still got all your stuff

[samsam72]

yes that is a fairly common virus and is destroyed by repeadetly hiting your moniter with a sledgehammer

[dilson]

Look's like you'll need to delete your System 32 my friend.

Nice that you read this :)

God dammit, people.

Have you recently plugged in something on the back of your computer? Anything USB/firewire related (external hard drives, keyboards, etc) Unplug them from your computer and check them out. WHen you get this message, it means you have plugged in hardware, but have not yet installed the required drivers. If you click no or later or anything similar, it says it won't work properly, yes?

What OsAmArAmA (I HATE YOUR NAME >:( ) said, could be right.
Maybe you have not plugged in something new, but just replaced it, you probably placed something you've had for a long time into a different USB port, which does this.

[lilcheeselad]

Someone else who lives with you probably got on there and put there Usb coed in there.

[Mitsaras]

i dont think its a virus....

[JaY11]

Oh god, those MEDIA viruses are the worst viruses out there.
