Optical Drive, now comes with malware!

[CommissarTommy]

Hey guys,
I got a new optical drive recently and as I was installing the software I was logging into Facebook
then 1 hour later my facebook gets hacked and very bad status' are posted from an app called "microsoft"
Then my PC got a BSOD, and this happened until...
I installed Kaspersky to my PC and it said the malware had come from the supplied Optical Drive software.
I will not name the drive because I don't know if I just had a dodgy disk and I don't want to turn people against it. It is a brilliant drive but the software is a no go!

You weren't using AV when you installed the software?

It came with the Optical Drive (Retail Packaging) so i assumed it was safe
Well I guess not xD

EDIT: I built the PC today so AV was next on the list xD

But you were happy to log into facebook in the meantime? *shakes head*

What software did you need for the optical disk that was urgent anyway?

There are instances of malware getting into OEM disks, have you contacted the store/manufacturer? This is unlikely to be a one off.

If you have logged into any other password protected sites, you should change the passwords - now. It sounds (from the limited description) as if it could have been key logging software, so compromising many accounts.

So was this on Win 7 and did you also cleverly disable UAC and log in as admin?

It was the Samsung S222BB/RSMS (I think it is called) I was dowloading the Samsung Live Firmware update because I was cautious to see if it needed a firmware update. The reason I went on facebook is because my brother rung me and said my nephew needed some PC help and he sent me a message on facebook. I had to reinstall Windows in the end because it was causing a lot of problems but everything is ok now.

So hang on, you downloaded it or you got it off the disc?

false positive easy or you already infected.

Download whatever you need from online.

I installed it from the disk and Microsoft and Kaspersky and Malwarebytes all said it was malware and Kaspersky and Malwarebytes both said it was that file

Does a scan of the disk (pre-install) pick it up?
