What you describe is indeed a virus.  We have it here at our university.
I don't know much about it except that it attaches itself to the boot record
of the boot disk, so it is very hard to get rid of it or to detect it.
You better boot from an original diskette (write-protect it, just in case)
and re-transfer the system to your boot disk with the SYS command.
