I personally prefer Norton's Anti Virus, but others are good as well. Read the thread "What's the best Anti Virus" then choose one you like. I would boot from a clean floppy to run the scanner.
For more info on the virus you have look here. SARC Virus Library

I deal with this one a lot with AOL users. It can be removed by the instructions found here: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...al.trojan.html
