It seems to be classed as malware rather than a virus, so antivirus
software may not see it. It's very prevalent.
From memory (I cleaned it off a couple of clients computers about 2 weeks
ago) Spybot or AdAware should detect and remove it.
Run whatever antispyware programs you have--any good ones should pick it
up. Microsoft have quite a good little tool called Microsoft Malicious
Software Removal Tool, it's free to download and they update it every 2
weeks. McAfee also have a similar tool named Stinger. Google will find
them for you.
