I usually run this free program on-line
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
If Housecall finds a virus it will either remove it for you if it can or it will tell you how to remove the virus manually.
Good Luck

Here is the absolute best virus/spyware removal website -- HANDS DOWN!!

They have a crack team of virus removal specialists on call 24/7, and are ready to tackle any virus or spyware problem you may have. You will be assigned a personal virus removal specialist, who will walk you through the virus removal steps, and solve any problems you may have along the way. These guys are DAMN good!! I have used them several times in the past, and they have always exceeded my expectations. Its a free service too, which is an added bonus.
The only down side is that they are very busy, so you have to submit your problem, and then wait for one of the specialists to respond, which may take a few days. They have a system in place, but with a little patience, I guarantee these guys will hook you up.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

A lot of the new viruses will replicate themselves in your registry. So when you run a spyware program it will find the virus, it will delete it, but when you restart your computer it will replicate back into your registry. I always scan my registry after i use the spyware to make sure i got it.
Getting these viruses is ahlf the fun since we all know that you only get these viruses from PORN SITES.

It's Grisoft AVG free edition. I turned off restore and ran it. The Grisoft found it again, but couldn't do anything with it. I'm going to try some of the other suggestions ASAP. Thanks!

The easiest way to remove any virus is to know where the file is, reboot into safe mode and delete the file.
You boot into Safe mode by pushing F8 and selecting the Safe Mode.
Good Luck

Anyway, thanks for the tips and help, all of you. BTW, I think it came from a game site that my son visited and downloaded from as it was not on my computer one day, but the next day, after he downloaded something from there, the virus showed up.
