This doesn't sound like most viruses. Could be an internal prank by someone
there, or a remote control Trojan. Make sure your network has a firewall,
and that your anti-virus has been updated in the past week.
AV can be disabled by attackers so that it looks like it is still working.
Try running a second opinion AV scan by going to
http://housecall.antivirus.com
Also, Windows root kit functionality can hide viruses from the locally
logged in user... try using a known virus free computer to scan other
computers across the network using a Windows netowrking share and regular
anti-virus. You could also use an anti-virus boot floppy disk from your
antivirus vendor or a free live boot rescue CD from BitDefender.
If these don't help, see here:
