Once you have found viruses on your hard drive, there is no way to be 100% certain that it has been permanently removed! It may recover the drive to a level that you are comfortable, but it can not be considered clean. If you are willing to expend so much energy on these tools, you might find your time better spent formatting the hard drive, reinstalling XP and all of your applications. I don't like the sound of that task either, so I make a backup of the disk image once it it has the system the way I want.
