Interesting - the same virus has also the name: Win32/Valla.2048 and AVG has a removal tool:

Lives out of state, has WinXP, Pent4, 2.6MHz, AOL, McAfee. Called me on phone, says McAfee detected and listed infected files. He started deleting last night, and then McAfee indicated it could not delete some files (he quit for the night). Today, he started PC, 1st thing is to click on user (him or wife), then MCAfee comes on and indicates they have detected the virus and recommends he use the scan feature on line. Well his PC now goes into a cycle and will not let him get to the desktop to get on line or even do anything except log out, restart and repeat the notice from McAfee.
I use Nortons and know nothing about McAfee so looked up the virus in google/McAfee & the McAfee site for the W32-NGVCK.A says the fix is DAT 4208 required. Can't find dat DAT as suggested by McAfee. Also, since it is WinXP they indicated the System Restore is probably infected and System Restore needs to be turned off. He can't get to "My Computer" >Properties>System Restore to uncheck System Restore.
What shall I tell him....take his PC to repair shop?
Wife refuses to get rid of AOL, but now that they have a virus she will finally stop opening all email attachments.
