"Upon further googling, I stumbled upon a free tool from Avast! which says directly on the info page that it can remove this worm.

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-virus-cleaner.html

When run, it scans everything for certain known worms, and it was able to repair all infected files (in this case, every single .exe and .scr file).

The worm, which is also known as ""Pinfi"", spreads with .exe and .scr files, but does not do much damage.

The tool was able to repair everything, and now all scanners return absolutely no trace of the virus.

I have enabled a strong firewall."
