This is not the name of any particular virus. It is probably a heuristic report from your anti-virus software. As such, it could be a false positive - i.e., something is reported as a virus without being one. Of course, it could also be a new, unknown virus.
It is strongly recommended that you contact the producer of the anti-virus program that has reported this and send them a sample (i.e., the file that was reported like this). They will tell you if it is a false positive or a new virus. If it is a false positive, they should fix it. If it is a new virus, they should implement proper recognition, identification and removal for it.
But the report suggests that this is a VBScript malware. These are usually very easy to remove - just delete the file that contains it.

Before attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

To know you have this virus, states you have some virus protection running on your machine.
Try to have the viruse program repair the file(s), or delete if you can't.
I always like to check symantec's website for instructions on how to rectify my system after a virus.
Here is a link http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/security_response/removaltools.jsp
Have a nice day.
