using the terminal and removing the items has no effect?

Perhaps repairing it with disk utility may help. It works for me, although it only seems to work with paragon ntfs.

what is paragon ntfs ?

It's a program from paragon that will give you read/write access to ntfs partitions, just like macfuse but more stable.

I had an issue similar to this (sans the viruses) with a drive that I had imaged to Windows XP. I couldn't remove anything from the drive. I had to play with Disk Utility (open and close it, right click on drive over and over) and eventually "Erase" was not greyed out and I could format the drive and now it's functioning properly.
