McAfee's "Stinger" doesn't look for this kind of virus, see this website
for more information: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

you could do an online scan at RAV:

and/or Panda:

If it's located in the "System Restore" area then you need to disable
this in Windows, reboot and, if you want, turn it on again:
