Luall's not necessarily a virus:
http://ask-leo.com/luallexe.html
it's a component of Symantec's live update program.
Windows Defender is not an anti-virus program, it's an
anti-spyware program. You should be running an anti-virus
program as well. Such a program *should* take care of any
problems you may have. More on that here:

Thanks for asking,
