Ken, when I entered that name into the virus database, it comes up with a few different aliases. McAfee is listed as one of the vendors who have a product out to eradicate the Trojan; although I cannot understand why it is not doing so. There are two separate variants of the virus though; maybe it isn't able to clear the variant you are infected with? Also listed with McAfee as having a solution to the specific Trojan you are infected with is:
Kaspersky Labs, DrWeb, and Sophos AntiVirus. You might want to give one or all of them a try to see if they can help in ridding you of that malicious Trojan. The links below will take you to their respective web sites; the pages are where you can download their trial versions of their products. I am assuming you are using a Windows-based computer, if not, you may have to dig a bit to find the different OS program file. Good luck, hope you can get rid of that pest, it may take a try or two but one of them should do the trick. Just remember, always do *exactly* as told by the products; i.e. if they tell you to reboot in between scans or whatever, do it.

You could also try the free online scan at WWW.TrendMicro.com

They have a product that gets good reviews called "PC Cillin"

I myself run McAfee, and have never had a problem, but no program is perfect. Always make sure whatever program you do run is updated every day.
