trojan - Can Windows Essentials Remove the JS/Alescurf.C Virus from a Windows PC?

A colleague just visited a site which had been hacked by the JS/Alescurf.C trojan virus, which infects HTML via embedded JavaScript.


Windows PC's are infected by visiting the site.


If my colleague has Windows Essentials, which detected and removed the trojan, is there anything else that he needs to do to make sure the virus is no longer active?


Windows Essentials detected the trojan within seconds of visiting the site, and he's running a full system scan to see if it still detects anything.
