I have been infected by VBS Generic 278, how do I remove/repair?

A comment: I too have a packard bell XP system which I have never connected to the internet. It has this VBS Generic 278 - which I found when I ran a trial eAcceleration scan. Everything on there was either preinstalled or are programs which I have run on my old computer with no issues. I use eAcceleration to scan anything off the internet before I have transfered it via disc. So how on earth did it get on there? Could it have come with the computer? I can get rid of it when I take my old computer offline and start using this packard bell for the internet - thereby being able to use my eAcceleration in full mode.

I had the exact problem. I was recommended "trendmicro" - http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/
It will scan your pc and should remove the VBS.Generic.278
