I can't believe how many messages/convoluted ways people have come up with here.
How bout this, take a hammer and smash your hard drive...that ought to do it..I'm
KIDDING, OK....lol....
But there's a very EASY way to get rid of these!!!!
Here's what you do:
I owe this solution to 'twister', who lives/posts here:

This will give you added power over your Xtremely Pesky operating system. I did the
following and have had NO problems
Do a find on 'sfcfiles'. You need to do the advanced search option, and check 'Search
system folders', 'Search hidden files', and 'Search sub folders'.
Results will be sfcfiles.dll, in one or more places. Change all their names (highlight
the file and hit F2) to sfcfilesold.dll.
XP may tell you that you are being very very BAD, so tell XP to go piss up a rope...lol........
Restart, and voila, you can delete nwwia, xerox etc.
