Virus/trojan issues (buritos.exe)

Zones: Enterprise Anti-Virus, Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, XP, SP2

I have two machines that are infected with viruses/trojans. They keep displaying messages that say windows is infected with spyware click here to clean up. It was pointing to a file called "winivstr.exe". TrendMicro OfficeScan 8 is running for AV. It keeps finding a "PAK_Generic.006" infection and names a "karina.dat" file in C:\Windows\system32\ . I found this file and a very suspect buritos.exe file. I have deleted them in normal and safe mode yet they keep returning. I have installed Ad-Aware; it finds nothing when doing a scan. Windows Defender won't run; neither will Spybot. I found the buritos.exe in the registry HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run\ . I deleted it from there as well, but no luck. Can anyone help me get rid of this garbage?

I am running a "Tiny" machine with an Athlon 64 3500 processor with Windows XP (SP1) originally installed.
When I updated to XP (SP2) and later to SP3 all my screen icons have disappeared along with the task bar.
I can access the programs from "Task Manager/Desktop" and they all seem to work OK, also SP3 is better at catching bugs and seems to work a little faster than SP2.
However, I would appreciate any assistance to regain my dektop
