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.

Happened to me, reinstalled Internet Explorer and it came
back. (Remember to reinstall/repair all components even if
they already exist.)
