You might want to call the McAfee bulletin board and download their latest
viruscan program (scanv57.zip, I believe).  McAfee also has a cleanup program
that can disinfect without destroying infected files (in many cases).  If you
use their program to disinfect, be sure to send in the shareware fee. 
Shareware is not the same as public domain.

If this virus is not on their list, you should tell them about it.
Hope this helps.
