I've never heard of those symptoms, but you really should format all of them
and reinstall Windows (carefully back up the data, but don't just blindly
backup each file and put them back on the rebuilt systems.) Yes this is
drastic but its the only way to be sure that there is nothing left. The
systems have been compromised and they aren't your computers any more ;)
For home PCs, I might suggest trying to clean out the infection but in a
business environment you need to be more careful.
