That's not technically a "virus", but whatever. Anyway, this sounds just like what happened at work around Christmas. At that time, AV software didn't detect it, so we had to remove it manually through trial and error. Try booting into safe mode and scanning the system using whatever AV software you are running. When you boot into safe mode, make sure you select the option where you have network support so that you can download any AV updates.

What is the name of this "software"? If it's what I think it is, there'll be a blue shield icon in your system tray.
