Is this a virus?

[K.I.L.E.R]

My CD-ROM today or yesterday (One of those days) ended up being called:

SAMQULG DTD-RMM SD-414 under Device manager.
In the BIOS it's called:

QUG(I only remember first three letters).

WTF?

Virus or has my CD-ROM died?
Other than that my PC works fine.

Did a virus check too, seems alright.

The thing is my CD-ROM doesn't read CD's at all. It says something that the CD may be in a different format or something.

EDIT:
I installed another CD-ROM drive and also tested another DVD drive after that and they both worked.
I gave my brother the wrecked one and it worked on his PC and then I taken it back into my PC and TADA, it worked and named properly.

Why?

I blew a massive layer of dust off the top of the DVD-DRIVE was that the cause of the problem

Probably just a bad IDE connection or something like that.

Who knows maybe dust on the outside of a CD-ROM drive has something to do with non exposed parts/connections.

Dust could have insulated the CD and caused it to retain heat and overheat which could explain it. :|

You're being silly right?

Perhaps it was magnetic dust.
Oh wait, cd-roms are optical, not magnetic.
Must've been gremlins.
