As with nearly all 'viruses', it will be known by a different name to each anti-malware company. If your AV finds this it should be able to remove it. Try this:





Turn off system restore: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorial...


Boot up in Safe Mode: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorial...





Scan again. Also try an online scan:


NOD32: http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/





Sometimes crap can reside in System Restore. When you boot up in safe mode only the key essentials are loaded, any crap shouldn't. Gives your AV more chance of removing it.
Reply:I don't know the name, but this works on most malware...
