McAfee should be deleting the virus. Your virus scan says it has, but it re-appears - I don't understand, unless you keep getting re-infected.
The file pay[1].mid is in teh Internet Explorer Temporary cache, so flushing out your cache should remove the file, (Tools/Internet Options/General/Browsing History/Delete...).
Sorry, that's as much as I can help.

The McAfee virus scan message telling me it has found a virus - Exploit-ANIfile.c and where it is.
But for some reason the Virus Scan doesn't find it...

Well, I keep scanning but nothing shows in the scan. It keeps saying that it finds nothing and yet when I come back here, there's that damn virus appearing.

The virus is concidered by McAfie to be a low threat.
This is only true if your virus checker catches and removes the virus.
Turning off the unsigned ActiveX installer does nothing to this virus, but it can (can not will) stop the virus downloading another virus.

Uh oh. Have I been infected? I wasn't practicing safe PA surfing. 
Is it going to start burning everytime I reboot now?

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

and set your browsers to block unsigned ActiveX commands (for IE7 users that's Security Tab under Internet Options)

I've picked it up to.
Everyone needs to update then run their antivirus software.

Mine's McAfee Enterprise 8.
The file it detects is:
\\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\BSW01ARR\pay[1].mid
It's a Trojan and is detected as the virus named in my first post.
It tries to launch a pop up in IE as well.

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Mine is a McAfee (Enterprise 8.0).
Exploit-ANIfile.c (Trojan) - a file called Pay(2).Mid
That's about all

More details if possible please.
Which virus checker is it which is reporting the virus? Is there any more information available about exactly where on the page the virus is, a specific ad or programme perhaps?
Thanks

Same problem, seems to be everywhere here, maybe Bob is right, it could be the adverts.
Trojan virus is showing on the anti virus as a list, so there might be more than one virus.
