I looked up the parity virus and it doesn’t seem to have the same effect as what you are describing. You should still be able to use your CD ROM as it just attaches itself to .com files and slows the running of the .com files on your system down.

If you need a virus scanner that doesn’t need a CD to install try http://www.antivirus.cai.com/ for a free downloadable version of a pretty decent Antivirus tool.

Barring the download, most if not all major brands of Antivirus utilities have a boot disk for infected systems with them when you purchase it. Personally I use the above virus scanner and Norton 2001 (on different systems of course).

Good luck.
