An easier way to do it in case you ever do need the software and want to be able to return it, is to do the following. the instructions below just DISABLE the item from functioning rather than deleting it.
go to: Control Panel >>>> System >>>> Hardware >>>> Device Manager
in the list that shows up, click on the little plus logo next to DVD/CD-ROM Drives
there should be as many dvd/cd players as you have, plus one extra. the one titled “WD Virtual CD 1110 USB Device” is your culprit.
right click, click disable, ok the disabling, and your done. disappears from my computer forever.
