Nothing on the Trojan itself, but file extension 'wue' can be ".wue" (weather.uwyo.edu)

Another reference is Trojan horse Generic WUE: "However.... now Trojan horse generic.WUE is popping up again in the cache files for MSIE (getting an AVG popup), and I haven't even used MSIE during this whole process and it's not running in the background."

This person finally got rid of it> "I think the thing is finally cleaned off. I ran Trend Micro's online scan and it found some stuff that none of my stuff on my hard drive found, and I think it irradicated the last of it."

I do suggest though that you take advantage of the HijackThis help. chances are you have other malware infections.
