When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

*prevented* this infection:

Ani_Exploit.gen - aka Troj/Animoo-U
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-017

A good virus scanner with up-to-date definitions should be able to clean
this out for you. If you don't have such, maybe one of these on-line
scanners could help:

Make sure you keep your system up-to-date with Windows Update!
 
Thanks for the answer but the patch maby helps already installed it but the
virus comes back, do you have an idea of how it spreads on the network? seams
that it comes back when computers try to access internet.
