AVG for windows seems to get rid of the downloader, but sometimes it comes back. i personally don't thonk you can get rid of them uless you are willing to do a full system restore. good luck!
move the file to the desktop, then, drag it to the recycle/trash bin (depending if u have a mac or a dellpintenium processer

It's not really a virus...
i had the virus a couple days ago and to get it out of the system i ran AVG virus scan. you can download a free version from www.avg.com once you run it, make note of the file the virus is in. avg will not clean or quarantine it. though once it finds it you can delete the file by restarting the computer and locating the file. you may have to run avg a second time after you reboot but it will eventually allow you to get rid of the file off your hard drive. feel free to email me if you need some help with it.
It would depend on the name of the dat file. If it is used by the operating system then you will not be able to delete that file.
How do I get rid of this Virus?
Get Hijackthis, a freeware program. Scan for the refence to the file that AVG can't remove. Redo AVG virus scan. Reboot, repeat if necessary.

Is it a necessary system file? If not, just delete it. Preferably, use the File Shredder feature most antivirus programs have.
Same thing happened to mine.I had to do a system restore and it went away.
