Default Windows Explorer problem... need help please...

Hello.

These problems points to an strange Web page and some
files that are copying continuosly:

I try the Panda Antivirus and also the XCleaner from
XBlock.
Really there was something like a virus: a worm that was
always copying itself.
Well up to there all was fine, because also the explorer
path was corrected; it was always
pointing to an strange blanc web page:

"http://www.geocities.com/hedda_marie_tolentino/index.htm"

also the files with format:

desktop.ini
folder.htt

stop coping between the folders and disks units. I have
found that the problem that starts this
was in "c:\windows\web\" where a "foder.htt" file was
generated and was the one who started all
of this (take care other users that are reading this, so
take care of this virus!) and also it
starts changing the contents of the "*.htt and *.htm"
files in that same folder... and other folders
each time it can.

however and this is the sad part, I cant see folders in
the Windows explorer like "as a Web page"
the option is there but I cant activate it... also the
files with "*.htt" format are lost now...
I know that these files can be autogenerated... how can I
do this and restore the original contents
of the "c:\windows\web\" folder?... and also how can I do
to restore the view like a Web page
characteristic to return back to normal?... I have no idea
of this virus name, but its dangerous.

please give me a hand on this. I have Windows 98 SE and I
have try again with the "scanreg /restore"
parameter but things are still the same.

thanks a lot for your time and dedication.

Sincerely,
Fernando Almenara.

PD. please write me directly to my e-mail account if you
can:
