CWShredder is (or was) available free from TrendMicro. Current version 2.19, hasn't been updated in probably about 18 months. I don't see acir.exe in it's scan list anywhere, so not sure if it would be any use in this case, though it might be.
It's a stand alone (no install) scanner/remover that was quite effective in it's day. Worth a crack, I guess, but you're probably better off following the advice above.
