Unfortunately, with the vast number of viruses out there, without
looking at your computers and seeing what processes are running and
what Event Viewer has to say (if anything), I don't see how anyone
could give you a name. Do the systems have anything in common? Are the
machines identical, both in make and age? Could this be caused by
hardware? When you say you "swap disks between machines" do you mean
you have a removable/swappable hard drive? Perhaps this drive is
shorting out your machines?
