I'm not sure what you mean by "emergency button". On many drives there
is a tiny hole in the front. Straighten out a metal paperclip. Now turn
the computer off and stick the straightened paperclip into the tiny
hole. Push in gently. That should bring the drive out.

It is not very likely that a virus caused this, although the best way to
find out if you have a virus is to scan with a full-featured current
version (not earlier than 2004) antivirus with an active subscription
and updated definitions. Do the scan in Safe Mode.

If the computer is clean and the problem persists, replace the drive.
