I was using my home office computer this morning and I noticed that there were way too many windows open and my computer was starting to slow down a lot. I closed all my windows including Corel Draw and it started to slow down even worse. My computer basically paused for half a minute. When the program finally shut down, my folders on my desktop all disappeared, no my computer, no my documents, not shortcuts. My taskbar (right word?) disppeared also, (the blue bar on the bottom). I can't access the the start menu, there's just a darker blue ...square where it should be. Did my computer get a virus? Is there anything I can do? I haven't backed up my computer in a couple of months and I need to do finish some important work on there. 
I tried manually restarting the computer. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, computer shut off, then I hit the power button again. It booted up fine but when I logged on and got to the desktop the same thing happened.
