Symantec has step by step instructions for removing the virus. I can't write it more plainly that they did. There are variations, so I'm including more than one link. Once you've done the step by step instructions and get to the point where it says update and scan, be sure you update your MCaffee virus definitions and scan again; preferably in safe mode.

Hope these help.
Here is a copy of my doc I give out to people from my site:
To completely avoid spyware and viruses, turn PC off. Truthfully.
If you really want to use it, prevention with running programs are best. Read their docs on how to use them and update them. All these are FREE.
Oh, yes! KEEP WINDOWS UP TO DATE! Use the AUTOMATIC UPDATE feature.
ONLINE VIRUS CHECKS, no software install required other than an Active X component if required (some do removals):
