Almost infected me this evening.

try searching in yahoo "kakaadua" (not including the quotations). the result is that website. Once you click it, it will redirect you to the antivirus 2009 website.

There should be the main executable. Delete it in safe mode. Also clean everything else and check the registry startup section and winlogon with Autoruns tool.
