What you need to do is format. Forget about the virus vault.

If you wanted to speed things up, you can boot directly from the XP CD, and when it asks you where you want to install XP, go through the process of deleting the partition that's there and create a new one. This will effectively remove everything from the drive. It tells you how to do so when you're at that screen.

As it was suggested before, I would keep that computer off the net for the time being. A little overkill, but whatever works for you.

And never forget: MAKE BACKUPS!
