Trojan Horse? (agent_r.XJ)

Hello all,
Thanks for taking your time reading this!
I've been plagued by Trojan horse Agent_r.XJ , which was found by AVguard, and it couldn't remove it.
Updating the AVguard was unsuccesfull, keeps giving an error. I've tried installing Spybot and Ad-aware, of which only Spybot was able to be installed (found a few things, but problem still remains).

The main problem is that opening a 2nd IE-browser seems to get 'stuck', also opening new tabs is often bugged. And as mentioned, it seems updating AVguard is getting blocked as well.

Attached is the HiJackthis log after i ran spybot.

Many thanks in advance!

We need to create a New FULL OTL Report

• Please download OTL from here if you have not done so already:
  
  • Main Mirror
• Save it to your desktop.
• Double click on the icon on your desktop.
• Click the "Scan All Users" checkbox.
• Change the "Extra Registry" option to "SafeList"
• Push the button.

  • OTL.txt <-- Will be opened

After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet.

We also need a new log from the GMER anti-rootkit scanner. Please first disable any CD emulation programs using the steps found in this topic:

Why we request you disable CD Emulation when receiving Malware Removal Advice

Please download GMER from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:

• Main Mirror
  This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended)
• Zipped Mirror
  This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.

• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
• Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.
• Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
• Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
  
  
  
• GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
• If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.
• Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.
• When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log.
• Click the Copy button and paste the results into your next reply.
• Exit GMER and be sure to re-enable your anti-virus, Firewall and any other security programs you had disabled.

-- If you encounter any problems, try running GMER in safe mode.
-- If GMER crashes or keeps resulting in a BSODs, uncheck Devices on the right side before scanning.

Best Regards,
oneof4.
