60 minutes or 60 seconds?

It sounds like the slammer virus to me. A quick google will get you a removal tool and a trip to windowsupdate.microsoft.com should keep it from returning

I would also suggest checking your firewall, is it running? Do you have Service Pack 2 installed? I have seen this problem, where a check for Sasser turns up nothing (using Norton's removal tool), but once the firewall was activated the problem went away.
