1 you need to have admin privaledges for this one
, set folder options to show all system and hidden files from the menu list, and set it to "show protected operating system files" which are by default hidden from the user.

2 From the search panel on start menu enter the name of the virus, set it to search all folders and subfolders, click search and sit back while it does it's stuff it may take some time. When it is done delete each and every copy, you may have to clear the check boxes in the properies menu of each file.

3 Next go into windows folder, navigate to the pre-fetch folder, if there are any copies there delete them.

Go to windows Temp folder delete ALL files and folders

Install the free software tools from http://www.pctools.com/ to keep it in good order.
