My antivirus found this and said it could not safely remove it. I have scanned since with "Spybot S&D", "Ad-aware SE Personal" and "NoAdware". None of these found it. If you know how to remove this virus or know what it does, could you please let me know. My Pc does not behave any different.

It's not really a virus. It's like a phishing email to get you to give up your credit card or other info.
I will not affect operation of your PC.

http://www3.ca.com/be/securityadvisor/newsinfo/collateral.aspx?cid=69706, sometimes u have to turn off the system restore which is done by right clicking my computer, properties, system restore and then boot in safe mode by pressing F8 while starting the pc over and running ur Antivirus program while in safe mode, i would recommend downloading avast and run the prescan and then removing avast with add/remove programs after its done.... just be sure to turn the restore back on either way. if u have questions send me an IM on yahoo fast cause im leaving in a min hehe

It's not a virus, but a variation of an email phishing scam. The ASG version targets Barclays customers.
Take a look at the link below:

Your antivirus should remove it.
