All experts know how to use Google:

Since the Symantec article says that this virus disables av software,
start cleaning by using TrendMicro's Sysclean. Get all necessary tools
and updates from a different, known-clean machine with a good Internet
connection and a cd burner. Do all scans in Safe Mode. Naturally you
will have removed the infected machine from all networks, meaning the
Internet and a lan if you have one.

TrendMicro's Sysclean is an extensive antivirus tool which has the
advantage of not needing to be installed. It requires two parts - the
scanning engine and the virus pattern files. Delete all Temporary and
Temporary Internet Files before running the program.

1. Create a new folder on your Desktop or the C: drive named something
useful like "Sysclean".
2. Go here and download the two parts of the program to that folder:

http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp - Sysclean
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp - virus pattern files

The pattern files will be zipped - extract them with your unzipper (like
WinZip) or if you have XP, you can just open the folder. You need to
put the extracted files in the Sysclean folder you made.

3. Restart your computer in Safe Mode. Get into Safe Mode by repeatedly
tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up to get to the proper
menu.
4. Go to the Sysclean folder you made and double-click on sysclean.com.
Start the scan. After the scan is finished, look at the log. You may
need to make a note of where any viruses were found if they were not
able to be removed so you can manually delete them.

How did you determine that you have this virus? Presumably you have a
current version antivirus already installed (no earlier than 2004); if
not, get one and install it after you've done the initial scan with
Sysclean. Update its definitions and do a thorough scan in Safe Mode.
