ImgBurn and Burnn can't detect my two dvd burners.....

[pinetop]

I tried to burn a dvd today and had no luck. Imgburn, burnn, and dvd decrypter all can not see my two dvd writers.
I just burned a dvd last night with imgburn and had no problem. Infact I just burned a dvd with TDA 1.6.
TDA and shrink see my burners, the other programs do not. Suggestions?

deleting the cd/dvd upper and lower filters might fix it. either do a search on how to remove them from the registry or use imgburn's tools/filter driver load order interface to delete them.

I was able to delete the lower class filter thru imgburn this has caused tda to now not reconize my burners. There is no upper class filter listed.
The upper device filter is "Redbook"(part of windows?).
The lower device filter is "imapi"(part of windows?).
ImgBurn can not delete these two filters, should they be deleted?

The ImgBurn reports the following:

ohhhhhh noooooo! it's not the filters. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but....

you have been rootkitted. your computer is owned and operated remotely by someone else now.

There's an FAQ at the ImgBurn forums for this:

Good luck.

Please let us know if you resolve the problem.

Heres what I did to solve my problem:

1. gmer- a scan showed I had skynet on my computer. I was able to disable and delete it.

2. Malwarebytes- a scan showed I had a few trojans, that are now gone.

3. Defender Pro- a scan showed my computer was clean.

4. I scanned with all three programs one last time, and all is well.


Thanks again for the help!

Sometimes the knowledge being shared on these forums astounds me. That was amazing to witness. Kudos to minidv2dvd.

Very cool , and @#$% the rootkits, & the trojan horses they rode in on...

[minidv2dvd]

pinetop - you're welcome

dphirschler - awww shucks...


i had a computer come in a week ago, from mom and 14 year old daughter. the little one had been surfing and one of those pop-up "you're infected - click here to scan your computer" drive-by scare things happened. the daughter went and got the mom and they clicked the "no, thanks - close" tab at the bottom right. the poor computer got rootkitted trojanned, malwared to the roof.

always always - to close something - either click the little red x in the upper right corner, or right click on the taskbar tab and select close. clicking anything else in the popup/window is giving the programmer free reign to install anything they want.

My 82 yo father had that happen to him "click here to pay for the program to rid your PC of all the virii & trojans we just dumped onto it", was a bloody nightmare to clean off...
