The CD media comes in two formats CDR and CDRW.
CDR can only be written into once. What you get from the
CD is what you write into the CD. Hence, if the written
programs contain viruses, the CD will contain the virus.
A classic example of virus spreading through the CDs was
CIH. A lot of driver CDs contained CIH and propagated
through it.
CDRW can be used like Floppy media and hence chances of them
containing viruses are equally high.
