Default Virus or what?

Hi!

Im having an strange problem with my Windows 98 SE system.

This has appear recently... I opened a floppy disk and
then some rare behaviors appear; specially in the Windows
Explorer... now I cant see directories with the View
like "a Web Page" feature enable... I check for recently
files changed... and found that:

msisys.vxd

was recently changed, and I havent do any process to
change that file... is this normal?
I have apply Ad-Aware SE professional and scan all the
system, but this problem is still there... I have erased
that file, should I recover it?

I have also found that some files like:

desktop.ini
folder.htt

are always saving to floppies when I use them... is this
correct?; and the floppy drives also takes some extra time
to read the information on disks, and this was not working
that way... and a message in Windows Explorer also appear
when I change directories on drive C:, saying that an
activeX control is missing... I think is that msisys.vxd
file can I restore it from the Win98 CD... how?

this is really making me feel uncomfortable, because I
dont want my system be harm... it was working fine before
using that disk... I need your help, how can I make this
be back to normal...

I have use the "scanreg /restore" command to restore from
a previous version of the system file but "nothing"...
this is really strange... what has changed???

Please help me. Thanks for your time and support as ever!
Jim.
