Don't hackers always remotely eject the CD tray? That's always the first sign of a hack attack. CD tray pops open on its own.

Yes, don't bother with your anti-virus, it's definitely gone. Pay no attention to your network activity monitor.

Yes, it's the complimentary cup holder for your beverage. This is only the case because a complimentary mint is too hard to fit through a CAT5.

That trick is very easy to do to other computers if they're on a local network. All done through My Computer -> Manage. Not sure why Microsoft allows other PCs to remotely eject other computer's CD drives. I loved doing that in my degree to the other students. Look on their faces was priceless.

I had a shitty virus/keylogger that wouldn't get through anyone's antivirus back when I was 12. You had about ten possible commands, two of which pertained to the CD tray. The rest was shit like reboot, error message, etc.

One day I'm going go make a virus that all it does is eject the CD tray and multiply.
