I was away for a couple of months and when I returned, someone had managed to infect my computer with a pretty nasty virus masquerading as an antivirus program. I was able to get the virus out (I think) and the computer back to normal with one exception. Whenever I open any folder such as the control panel or desktop icon, I get a message stating that "The feature you are trying to use in on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the Search Settings 1.2.2 disk and click ok." I can cancel out of it and get to where I am going, but obviously, this shouldn't be happening. Any thoughts?
