Win32/XPAntiVirus

[jlmartin102001]

Windows Defender found the malware Win32/XPAntiVirus on my system but is
unable to remove it giving the error message 0.80501001 One or More actions
could not be completed sucessfully.

Any help removing this would be appreciated. I am also running SpyBot and
AVG neither of which even detect this
