Default "Suddenly, life has new meaning" virus/trojan

Hey,

I have this virus/trojan that affected my computer and all my external drives. It was passed to me through the thumbdrive from another person's computer.

When I eject the drives, I get the error message "Suddenly, life has new meaning". I've used Norton and OneCare to scan the computer but it is unable to pick it out. However my friend's computer picked it out and the name was something like W32.IRC or something like that. I searched it up on Norton but somehow there was no description of any virus with that error message appearing. So I'm completely stuck. My anti viruses cant pick it out and I cant afford to reformat my computer as it will take too long.

Is there anyone that had the same problem or knows how to resolve this problem besides reformatting and downloading more antispyware programs?
