Possible Virus outbreak

[brettums]

my network is subdivided into 12 VLANs. One of the VLANS seems to be sluggish..... Basically ALL PCs on this network have been doing intensive memory spikes. I'm kinda dead in the water here.... I'm not sure what to look for, what tool to use or what....

In the mean time I've tried the following and came up with a temporarily solution..... First tried to use ethereal and sniffed packets on the subnet but again, I got info, but it's like reading a foreign language.... In stead I've ended up turn machines off whih run on this subnet. Any other recommendations?

FYI: I do have Symantec Corp edition installed (latest ver 10.1)Symptoms seems to have happened right after the roll out of this.

I wonder if there is some bad hardware on the network causing excessive traffic?
