Cannot get rid of infected file C:\Windows\System32\p2pnetworking.exe

There is a folder in my C drive called Uploads that I keep deleting (has a LOT of zip exe files enclosed that mysteriously appeared) and are using up my C drive quickly - I keep deleting and they keep coming back. Have tried numerous attempts at running spyware and anti-virus programs with no success. PLEASE HELP!!
