Stinger will deal with it
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
How to Use Stinger- When prompted, choose to save the file to a convenient location on your hard disk (such as your Desktop folder)
- When the download is complete, navigate to the folder that contains the downloaded Stinger file, and run it. WindowsME/XP users read this first.
- The Stinger interface will be displayed.
- If necessary, click the Add or Browse button to add additional drives/directories to scan. By default the C: drive will be scanned.
- Click the Scan Now button to begin scanning the specified drives/directories.
- By default, Stinger will repair all infected files found.
