you need a spyware remover like Adaware or Anti-Spy which comes with the Yahoo toolbar to remove it.

Also I havent tested any other anti-virus programs only Norton AV which imho is the best on the market.

If you can plz tell me the name of the virus/ spyware so I can relate this to the tech officials.
