I fixed a computer lately beside the exact same problem. I forget exactly what I did, but I know I uninstalled plentifully of crap "Spyware" programs. He have approaching 2-3 Spyware programs, and once I get rid of them, that problem go away.
The are two types of poisonous applications, one is call virus, and the other one is call spy wares (There may be other types). From your informations, it seem that those "viruses" are spy wares. Spy wares slows down your PC's actions, change its behavior, download more spy wares into the computer, and may even steal your personal informations such as your credit card number (However, unlike virus, they do not corrupt your system directly).

In my personal judgment, LavaSoft's Ad-Aware is the best solution. Ad-Aware 2007 Free is a righteous solution because the cost is free.

Download and install the program, and next scan the unharmed computer next to it. Then follow the on blind procedures.
