Jeefo.A ?

It's a tough one, given that while DOS-based scanners from F-Prot,
Sophos, NOD32 and AVG (rescue) will find it, none will clean it.

>What can I do?

Use the free dedicated cleaning tool from www.sophos.com - it worked
perfectly for me. Keep a log of what files were infected (it's a
Win32PE infector, so you can't just "delete all the malware files"),
which you can generate via a formal av scan with any of the tools I
mentioned. Read up on it as well, esp. if there are new variants.
