Not sure of precise name of the malware, but the following have helped me clean up a few machines http://live.sunbeltsoftware.com/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.superantispyware.com/ The following link may help to make sure the computer & software are up to date http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ The hardest part is to change the user mindset otherwise the behavior that got the malware on the computer will be repeated.
