IE accesses floppy drive

[Roxy]

All of a sudden, IE6 is accessing my floppy drive. When I click on the IE
icon, it takes about one to two minutes to load and when it does load, it
first accesses the floppy drive. When I close IE6, it seems to hang, until I
shut down the computer and then the "this program can't close" or something
like that, until it finally closes .... accessing the floppy drive again.
What on earth could have gone wrong?
I have Win2K.

This is caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite)

Download, install, *update* and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ (Remove items
listed in red.)
