I'd be willing to bet you have the virus referred to W95.CIH.1049. It's a variant of the Chernobyl virus. The virus is designed to infect computers and wipe out data on August 2, 1998; seeing as how that date has passed, it shouldn't be a huge problem, but there are some side effects, and, as with any virus, bugs can cause it to function unexpectedly.

You can read more about it here. Removal instructions are included on that page.
