Are you using an anti-virus?

If not, download the Free Avast Anti-virus, install it, update it, run a
scan with it.
It will probably find it before you can do the scan!

When it finds it, put it in the virus vault.
If you still have a virus there at the end, and it can not remove it,
reboot, tap F8 at startup, go into Safe Mode, and scan again while in Safe
mode.

That will do the trick for you!

If you are running an anti-virus that let the virus in, uninstall it, and
install Avast before you do anything.
Or try going to Safe Mode, as I explained how to do above, and scan with
your own anti-virus.

Also, you can NOT run 2 anti-viruses on your computer at the same time.
They clash.

Ok. I have to assume that you have run McAfee and it finds a virus, says it
is deleted, but you still have the virus showing up.

Reboot your computer, and right at POST(powering up self test at power on),
start to tap F8, and it will go into a list of options.( safe mode, etc)

Use the Up and Down Arrows to get up to Safe Mode, hit ENTER.
Once in Safe mode, run McAfee for a scan of your hard drive from there.

McAfee will delete it in there.

If I have assumed wrongly, please post all details..

Please don't post using all caps. In News Groups and forumsm, posting this way is akin to
shouting as well as it makes reading difficult.

Additionally your post lacks facts. A post requesting help with only 9 words in it is
usually insufficient.

Please post all relevant information concerning what you think is a virus. Log extracts,
error messages, fully qualified name and path to the file deemed infected, etc, are needed.

BTW: I had to look in another post just to find out you use McAfee.
