I am surprised that your virus software should have found this and stopped it in its tracks. However any reputable antivirus software. EG. AVG or Avast for example will allow you to scan the drive and remove any virus found. The relevant infected file may or may not be corrupted. It is difficult to give a definite diagnosis with so little to go on. I would suggest taking a clean backup of your 'C' drive before running the check as virus' have a habit of jumping ship.
