To find the problem computer is actually the easy part:
Next time your network slows to a crawl, unplug your computers from the network, one at a time, until the problem goes away. The last one disconnected SHOULD be your problem computer. If the problem does not go away until ALL computers are disconnected, start reconnecting your computers in the same order you disconnected them
If the problem starts back up BEFORE they are ALL reconnected, you have either discovered problem computer #2 or a problem ISP.
You really need to make sure that every computer is protected by current antivirus software, with definitions no more than a week old, personal firewall, such as Zonealarm Pro, and anti-spyware software, such as Webroot Spysweeper, with definitions updated at least weekly, and all the up-to-date Windows and Office security patches.
A full virus and spyware scan must be done on each computer at least once a week.
Bandwidth may not be the only thing your company is losing.
Nice work...
