its most probably virus or soemthing ...

see if you use Process Explorer to terminate certain process which looks suspicious ..

What OS are the PCs using ?

I am using Window XP Home edition SP 2.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

Last time, I tried to move the infected HDD over to a non-infected system, and try to scan the virus from there. I managed to clean all the viruses this way.

This is risky of course. But I was running out of ideas just like you now.

What I do when I get hit by a virus is that I just reformat my C drive.

I just move whatever files that I need to another drive and just wipe the infected one clean.

Yeah, I do that too.

Should not be a problem if your boot drive has an updated anti-virus software which loads at boot up.
