The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez
http://securityresponse.symantec.c [...] .e@mm.html

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.c [...] .c@mm.html

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.c [...] .worm.html

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the Spybot
mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose definitions
aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free on-line
scanners to double-check your system.

answer.
