BleepingComputer.com: Infected with XP Security 2012

My computer was infected with the XP Security 2012 virus five days ago and I've been trying to remove it ever since. I've tried to remove it using the instructions in this link http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic404704.html and also in this one http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-win-7-antispyware-2012 but it keeps coming back when I reboot. I know it's back because when I open Firefox a second tab opens with an ad on it. Then the computer begins to run very slowly. The operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I'm using Avira Antivir Personal for virus protection. Any guidance in getting rid of this virus is very much appreciated. Thanks. Below are the DDS.txt and Attach.txt logs that were generated:


Also, if it's useful RKill produced this log:

Rkill was run on 07/29/2011 at 22:46:10.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP
Processes terminated by Rkill or while it was running:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\grpconv.exe
Rkill completed on 07/29/2011 at 22:46:26.
