Does anyone know if AVG has released an update that handles the Karma Sutra worm?

It's listed as Worm/Generic.FX!CME-24 in their current "Top Threats", so I would expect them to have it covered in their definitions. They currently have this information available on the threat, which leads me to think it is covered.
FYI the free version of AVG is apparently specifically targetted by this worm.
F-Secure have a specific removal tool available here, although general recommendation is for a complete rebuild as the worm can install additional components.
