McAfee have a removal utility called Stinger at:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ which I used to check my machine.  I don't
know how effective it is as I had already removed most of the virus manually
and then used AVG to finish it off by the time I downloaded Stinger.

Further information may be found at:

It may be necessary to remove the registry entry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce, and
reboot before AVG can get at the virus ????.exe file. I had booted from a
clean floppy and simply deleted it but that was only because my firewall had
already reported the .exe name.

If you are using WindowsME then the virus will tend to get stick in your
_RESTORE directory but it won't do any harm there as long as you don't attempt
a system restore.

Good luck!

Stephen
