Come on mr.dalek, you can just goto any AV companies' website and go a search on either the virus name, the location, anything distinctive. Just go to Symantec.com and do a search on either Carpe Diem, or montorgueil, to come up with Dialer.CarpeDiem. Removal instructions can be found on AV websites.

Here's Symantecs for example: http://smallbiz.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2003-123017-3321-99&tabid=1

Like most dialers, this one is likely the result of one too many pr0n websites ;)
