Tried Microsoft Security essentials? Failing that Malware bytes is good with a lot of viruses.

Microsoft have it listed:

The virus attempts to open a backdoor and wait for instructions.
Avira free anti virus will find it and remove it:

I had to download these on my laptop and put them on a disc and install them that way cause pc wont work clicking links.
I installed these and let the pc run all day and it was deleting and cleaning all day and still doing it when I switch the pc back on. :bang:

WOW must have got itself well bedded in!.
Might be worth thinking about a re-install. Or if you can remove the hard drive and slave it onto another machine to do the scan. If your stuck I could give you a hand as I think your pretty local.

.If you cannot caddy the HDD then try booting in safe mode, by tapping F8 after you turn the power on.
This should hopefully allow your anti virus to kill it, if not the only other choices are Caddy the HDD or a full re-install

Microsoft Security Essentials has done it I think, Im almost free of virus the only thing happening now is every time I click on a pic windows installer is trying to install Publisher 2002. I already have it on my pc but if I let it run its comes up with error cant install. I have to right click and select where to open a pic. Its a bit of a nuisance but I suppose Ill have to put up with it.
