    Not much one can say about a virus program. either it works or it does not. If it does not work then we have a big problem. It seems to operate without interfering with the overall operation of my Mac.

    Seen fragile but works fine for installing from a disk or playing music right out of the box. My Windows 8 Laptop did not have a DVD player built in so movies did not work until I found a player to install. They sell it with basic program and then offer an expensive upgrade package with a player. The basic program meets all my needs. I found a free DVD player (with adds) that allows my to play movies. I recommend this as a fine inexpensive external drive for those who need/want one.

    The CD drive is great it reads and burns CD's fine. But the controller is alright but using it, it feels a little unresponsive. Might just be because of my laptop, I'm not sure.

    I recently purchased a laptop, so I needed a device to import and burn CDs. This product happened to be on sale, the salesperson recommended it and I have had no problems. It does what I need it to do!

    The new Apple iMac no longer comes with an internal cd drive.Therefore this was purchased as a way of keeping the older physical disks that I have accessible to their content.

    You can tell it is light plastic and feels like it might break easily but it gets the job done. Using it with a Macbook Air. If I had the money I'd grab the OEM Apple version.

    If this item is used where you don't have a DVD drive, then it could be great for that... With USB 2.0, You will need a mini usb adapter for some of the smaller compatible items.

    I bought this disc drive to accompany my new laptop that doesn't have one already built in to it. Its easy to connect, USB port, and works great. I use it for burning CD's and DVD's. So far, I haven't had any technical issues and don't see any issues arising. Will update if any occur.

    Bought this with a new labtop and figured it was going to be a plug and go install. Windows 8 doesn't come with a vcp viewer so you need to download a version to play DVDs, seems like a no brainer now but at the time I was having second thoughts on my $900 labtop. Haven't tried cd burning but don't expect anymore issues. Software provided was useless to me also- I dont plan on editing movies just got it to watch DVD with.
