All the info you need on what you caught. Variants of it exist for all XP, Vista and 7 versions and it uses several names of a similar nature. It is removable but you have to go through more trouble than its worth.
I do computer repair for people and if they have this. I only go through removal to preserve a CD Key activation (if it's winXP). Other than that, I just pull the data to save using a linux live CD and wipe it for a reinstall.
After a reinstall, first thing to do is install all your protection software and update windows fully, and don't use the default Internet Explorer installed from the Disc.
