Four unknown processes starts every hour

[opo]

I have an annoying problem with my home pc with XP Sp2, it has got some infection from the web. Every hour on the hour it starts four processes called "fourbodysetup.exe" which are taking about 99% of the computing power. Adaware and F-secure propgrams can't find any viruses or spywares. These processes can be stopped but it's bit frustrating to do that every hour. Any idea what is it about and could be done?
