Dont buy LG DVD drives.
They now have AD-Ware built into the firmware. LG drives now come with
a ad ware type program called "bluebird" built into the firmware that
creates a virtual drive that auto installs a burning program to your
PC and directs your browser to the LG webpage. Insidious.
Read about it here at Newegg in the comments.

It's true and it is annoying, but there is a removal tool:

I bought a LG and just removed the bluebird thing. It was the best price on
a dvd burner. Not too much trouble to remove (but you have to register at
the MSN forum to download).
