viruses normally comes in easily if your computer is not protected. the best thing to do is install a good antivirus and make sure its regularly updated (or better yet, set it to automatically update).
but if the case is the virus has already compromised your system and your antivirus can't handle the virus, its always a good idea to backup important "uninfected" files and go for a reformat.

normally, i would recommend norton since i'm a norton av fan. but since it puts too much toll on computer resources, i'd recommend avast. specially because avast has a boot-scan feature which scans your computer for viruses way before it actually gets in windows.

I have a good, up to date antivirus program which will warn me of and prevent any attack. If you already know the name of the virus, it's likely that your AV program warned you and has already dealt with it.
If you get a warning message on screen from a legitimate Antivirus program which is installed on your computer, it DOESN'T mean that your computer is affected! It means (99% of the time) that your AV is WORKING and you have already been protected.
If I were silly enough not to have proper protection and discovered that my computer had actually contracted a virus, I would immediately download Malwarebytes, Avast or some other reliable program, install it and run a FULL SCAN. Avast has a Scheduled Scan function which does a complete scan BEFORE Windows loads and will reliably fix any problems it encounters before the virus has a chance to start up.
In the unlikely event that no fix is available or that the scanner cannot detect or deal with the virus, the last resort is to reformat the hard disk and to reinstall Windows, restoring any data from the last clean backup (of course, you DO make regular backups of your data, don't you? ... and you DO keep your Windows installation disk and other program installations to hand?).

The threat seems to be a fairly new one but there are several variants of it. It's possible that your AV database may not have been up to date or the virus may have disabled your AV protection.
F-Secure give the following details:
"Fujack.K is a virus and a network worm. It infects executable files with certain extensions by prepending its body to these files. It also infects webpages by appending an IFrame tag and a malicious URL to them. The worm actively spreads to external media, for example to USB drives or network drives. It attempts to perform a dictionary attack in order to break weak network share passwords. In addition, the worm kills processes belonging to anti-virus and security software as well as processes of the Task Manager and Registry Editor. The worm can download and run malicious files from a website."
The removal details at F-Secure assume that you are running their software. You might try the instructions given here to try and remove it: http://www.ehow.com/how_6116559_remove-fujack-virus.html (If you do not feel confident about editing the registry, you should get professional help).
You don't say which AV and anti-spyware program(s) you are using, how you know that your computer is actually infected and which version of the virus was reported. That information is essential if anyone is to give you further help.
