How do I remove the AntivirXP08 virus?

My mothers computer is infected with the AntivirXP08 virus, I’ve done a little research and it sounds like this virus is difficult to uninstall. I Installed McAfee and ran a scan, it detected the virus but "cannot remove completely", I tried Add/Remove programs but it cannot be removed from there either. This virus also installed a blue warning wallpaper that cannot be removed. Any info would be helpful.

Here is how I remove a virus (or other nastys like Trojans, Malware, Adware, Spyware, etc.,) The scenario goes like this; you enter a website often you are drawn to a site offering a popular product for a deep discount, or a hot unclad girl as a Wallpaper (there are other baits for those of other tastes like puppies, horses, babies, waterfalls, etc.,), and.. 1.) immediately upon entering you get a “WARNING” pop-up bar stating that your computer may be infected, naturally most people will click on the on the red “X” in the upper right corner in an attempt to close the program but will infact ALLOW it to install since the hacker will oftentimes reverse the “X” with an “enter” or “I accept”. 2.) you will see a install bar downloading all the Hackers best work as well as bullets indicating the status of your subsequent troubles. 3.) upon installation; especially if you reboot or unplug your computer, you will usually be bothered by a pop up window stating that your “computer is infected” & oftentimes info on how you can remove the virus for a fee (hey if some one violated you on the Information Super Highway; Then why would you trust them with your Credit Card no. & personal data to “fix” their con?? you just might get scammed twice or more!!) THEREFORE I have devised this simple FREE fix utilizing your computer’s “system Restore” which is a part of Windows XP and NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE SYSTEM RESTORE CD that is often the first option of business AFTER the virus properly
