unidentifiable "infection" preventing browser from caching anything

Help please! On or about April 17 I apparently became "infected" with something that I cannot identify. Anti-virus programs are not finding anything, nor did Spybot, but I suspect that the file c:\windows\fonts\unwise_.exe may be involved somehow. Since that date, computer has been excruciatingly slow, and IE will not store anything in the browser cache (every web page is completely re-loaded on each visit - nothing restored from the cache).

I was told that this is the place to go for help with this sort of problem, so I really hope that you guys and/or ladies can be of assistance, thank you!
