That's a particularly nasty virus. Like you said, since it's now a system app, a factory reset won't work. The only way to truly remove it would be to re-flash the stock firmware, or to root your phone and use an app like Titanium Backup to delete it.

Short of that, you can try disabling the app. This would leave the APK on your system partition, so it's not ideal, but it would at least prevent the app from running.
