I'm not really sure what the question is here.  Any decent antivirus package that finds a virus in the files should also be able to repair or delete them.  If yours can't remove them, it should at least tell you where they're located.

Turn off the system restore (system applet - troubleshooting - disable system restore on the filesystem tab).  Then re-scan the drive with your antivirus software.

Turning off the system restore destroys your checkpoints, but at this point, you don't have another option.
