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.
