Sober.p Removal

Somehow I got the WIN32/sober.p@mm worm. I've had it in the past, but it was, ah.. different. It was in services.exe. Now it has the Our_secret.zip. I ran McAfee Stinger, as EZ eTrust Antivirus has been disabled. It got rid of the Connection Wizard thing, and just left the Our_secret.zip. Can I get rid of this without nuking the system?
