I can't access any removable drive like CD ROM even USB and Virtual drives.

When I double click to open the drive it shows the message "Access is denied" "H:/ is not accessible".

I am 100% sure there is no virus in my computer.

Right click and click on Open.
Alternatively, Click on Start menu, and click on Run (or Simply, Press the Windows Key and 'R' )
In the dialog box, type the drive letter, followed by colon (: ) and press enter.
Eg.
H:
then press Enter.

This way you will be able to access your disk. It is definitely a virus, and I had written an article about it once.. can't seem to find it now.

Basically what is happening is, When you double click on the drive, it 'autoruns' a preset command, which is pointing to a certain script (might be harmless, but nevertheless, it's called a virus).
Scan your computer with the Latest antivirus, and also scan the removable drives.

To solve this problem, you can try this tool : "Open With" dialog appears when double clicking on a mapped network drive in My Computer

1st

There is no autorun option on any drive.

2nd

There is no virus in my computer I have scanned using Norton Aintvirus09 , Eset , Kaspersky AV with all updates.

One thing I notice when I start in Safe Mode it is working well

You may not have a virus in your computer right now, but there may be some remnants of a previous one. Basically, the registries have been affected, and some of these programs listed here might be able to restore those.

Did the drive open from the run dialog box, like I said in the 1st post?
