[comp.virus] do I need a doctor?

I have a PS/2 Model 30.  Recently, some diskettes have become suddenly
unreadable.  In addition, executing WP5.0 became so slow that I erase
the exe file and copied the original back onto the hard disk.

Does this sound like some virus?  If so, what do I do next?  Please
explain in detailed, non-technical terms, if possible.  (If this
news group is the wrong place for this type of question, I apologize;
I notice that the articles seem quite technical and fairly general,
but I could sure use some help.)
