See if there is something running in the background.
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
ps -A
I highly doubt if there is a virus!

open a terminal and type
top
If you see something in the output like "synaptic" or Update manager" then a package manager is working.
Most likely the daily update to of package information was happening.(unless you have configured it to not happen?)
This can take a little while if you are on dialup.?
Next time it happens check with top as above.
If that is not the problem/answer to your question please post more info.
EDIT. I am such a slow typist... beaten to it by taurus.
