W32/SirCam Virus - Help required

Yesterday I downloaded the latest Viruscan DAT from Mcafee.
I ran the viruscan immediately and it announced that several viruses had been detected and must be deleted.
I did this without using any braincells and it turns out that I have removed an executable file that is required to open certain programs.
The file that is missing is the SirC32.exe file and I cannot find it anywhere.
I have looked on the Mcafee website but all it tells you is how to remove the actual virus - not how to recover the file.
Any ideas?

Many thanks Lame, problem solved.
I used the Symantec Removal Tool as given in Crashdive's post of 22.7.01. The Mcafee cleaner that I had used previously didn't restore the Rundll.exe file that is required to open most files. The Symantec tool had no problem giving me this back.
Everything seems OK now.
