Go to safe mode, go to program files delete the xp antivirus folder. Go to
windows/system32/ and find ieupdates (show details, and sort by date, delete
any files also installed at same time as ieupdates), reboot computer.
That should get rid of it, but it is likely your computer is infected with
other things, go to superantispyware.com download their free edition, update
and disconnect off the internet. The repair options will allow you to
re-enable task manager, run a scan with super antispyware and delete
whatever it finds.
