Something is wrong, need help asap

Okay, here goes:
My games kept freezing, and artifacts would pop up, so i ordered a replacement video card (x600 xt 256 mb), and will get that on tuesday. However, i was having problems with other stuff. I ran a scan with ewido security suite and norton antivirus 2005, and they both found a virus in a warcraft 3 patch i downloaded...the patch was immediately deleted, and all worked fine....until i went to my computer--my entire D partition was wiped clean---15 gb of music programs and games erased completely! I was beyond mad. Dunno wtf happened there. Also, when playing warcraft 3, and when i try to open the game, it would keep saying please insert cd until i opened and closed the disk tray. After the virus scans, it completely stopped functioning, and now, even if i put it into the cd tray (i had to uninstall it and try a reinstall), it will not autorun, and it will not open at all when i go into windows explorer (on the other hand, it hangs there forever, without anything coming up). You'd think its a problem with the cd drive...but i put in other cds like starcraft and movies, and it works just fine. Also, now the computer freezes at random points...like when surfing the web, or when opening/using a program. I can live with the clean hd--ill just add everything back using my handy 40gb ipod, but the freezing and the warcraft not working have got to stop. Please offer some much needed assistance.

Setup cannot read a required data file. Your warcraft cd may not be in the cd rom.please insert blah blah....I:\setup.mpq Error 0x0000045D: This reqeuest cannot be performed due to an I/O device error.

 

Have you ever tried re-installing the game?

i did a complete reinstall of windows, formatting both the c and d partition...when i pop in warcraft...it keeps saying: some error, make sure it in the cd drive, I/O error.

 

russian master,

As Chaslang previously mentioned this isnt a Malware issue so please post this problem in the correct forum or contact the company that makes the game.
