Got a music cd ( original not a fake ) and when i place it in the cd player of my pc , i am alerted about a trojan infecting my CD Rom ( iirc). I ran malywarebytes and spyware terminater and sure enough it was there and had to be removed/vaulted. Scared to try to run it agin, but could do for more specifics?

Any ideas?
Cheers.
