I recommend using these Programs. They are free!
These first two DOS-based applications, but that is one of the reasons they work so well on your kind of problem! Don't be afraid using DOS applications, just follow the instructions and everything will be fine. In the Kaizer Killer, all you have to do is to double-click the application and it automatically removes most viruses in a heartbeat. Just use them in Safe Mode (to start in Safe Mode, press F8 a couple of times before the boot logo appears, you will be prompted to select one of the Startup options, and choose Safe Mode.)

If the first two don't work you can run these. They are also good for running a periodic scan just to make sure you are safe.

Running it requires a lot of RAM and uses a big deal of resources on CPU. I suggest only running it when you need it an not all the time.

download spy bot and uncheck the tea timer and internet protection..run a full scan after installing all the updates,this will remove all spyware and remove the entries from your registry..cheers

The ONLY way would to be find a program that FORCES it destroy the file ( I know there's a few out there ), OR, Boot up in Safe Mode, find the file manually, and Delete.
Make sure you set a System Restore point in case that you've deleted something important.

I would just reformat the computer i hate viruses and don't like messing around with them. If you dont know how to do a clean install of XP search on this site im sure you'll find your answer.

First, try removing them in safe mode. Then, try getting better security. My favorite is between Norton Internet Security (very expensive) and CA (free with roadrunner). If you can't get them, get Mcaffee from AOL for free. you may need to sign up, but its free. Last, try a Full system recovery, which will wipe your HD and set it to factory settings. REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST!!!
Hope I helped.
