Scan your computer with the anti-virus that you have got, it will detect the virus and show the details about it, including its name.

1st-Make sure to get all Windows updates DLed and installed.
2nd-Go to BitDefender.com for a free virus scan. TrendMicro now charges to clean.
3rd-Download, install, and update Ad-Aware (free). Do a full system scan and delete the crap it finds.
4th-Download, install, and update SpyBot Search & Destroy (free). Do a full system scan and delete the crap it finds.
If you dont have a firewall, GET ONE. ZoneAlarm has a free version.
If you dont have an anti-virus, GET ONE. Both AVG and Avast have a free version but I recommend Nod32. It's the best available and it's not very expensive (about $40 US.) Install, update and do a full system scan at least weekly. Norton is around 4th/5th place depending on your source. Norton is a resource hog as is Macafee. Nod32 uses far less computer resources and has a much better scan engine. Nod also has a better rating for catching new viruses.
If this doesnt fix the problem, download HiJack This. Go to techsupportforum.com (there are others but this a good, free site) for instructions. DO NOT use HiJack This unless you are extremely knowledgeable about Windows and it's processes. You can seriously Bork your system. Let the pro's direct you.

please use the virus scanning programs to know ur virus. if ur program does not find the virus then update ur virus program to detect the new viruses. because everyday in internet there are lot of virusses are entering. so ur program may not be able to find all the virusses. so update ur virus program to keep ur computer secure.
