Didn't help with my Flashback either but at least you could get another DVD.

I found Flashback in my DVD drive. Now what?

I would open the DVD drive, extract the DVD and break it into several pieces or shred it, if possible.

A DVD infected with that nasty piece of work should never be allowed near another DVD drive. That way, no one else will be infected with it.

That is the only safe thing to do, for everyone's protection.

Kiefer Sutherland would want it that way. :-)

>>I found Flashback in my DVD drive. Now what? ;-)<<

I found Flashdance in mine, which is even worse.

By the way, I just got a call from some scam artists who told me they were calling about my Windows computer, and that they had been getting some error messages from it. I could hear a whole bunch of other voices in the background.

They said they believed it had an infection. I was trying to play along, acting gullible and shocked, to see if I could get some method of identifying them, when the connection dropped suddenly.

I haven't had an active Windows computer in several years, now.
