blaster virus or similar using your computer for denial of service attacks maybe.
do ctrl alt del and look for suspiciously named tasks in the list and then try and search the internet for details. Also run sysconfig in tools menu in sysinfo in system accessories in accessories to find out whats being loaded at startup.
Do you have a virus checker and if so have you updated its virus libraries recently?

If you use IRC - there is a flood virus that is somehow not picked up by the usual Norton/McAfee, but is by Ad-Aware (afterwhich the AV will scream virus alert)

Sometimes you have to find out what it is not, to find out what it is!!
