Removing virus cryp_tap, removing spyware virus

My friend just got infected with a virus called cryp_tap. It was detected with trend micro, and pops up in a dioulouge box every 1 second. he is running a microsoft xp OS and is unsure of his hardware specs. He said that whenever the box pops up it makes a clicking noise. He said it is very annoying and that he has alot of assignments to do and is worried about using the internet. Does anyone know it it will steal passwords, and does anyone know how to get rid of it?

*** ESET Online Scanner at: http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/
