winlogon.exe trojan horse!

Unread postby addovox » November 27th, 2009, 10:55 pm

Hello,
My AVG Free 9.0 keeps saying that i have a trojan horse in my winlogon.exe file, but it cannot fix it.

"Object name";"C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe"
"Detection name";"Trojan horse PSW.Generic7.AUBW"
"Object type";"file"
"SDK Type";"Core"
"Result";"Object is white-listed (critical/system file that should not be removed)"

I read in a forum that Kapersky can remove this, but that did not work either. How do i get rid of this trojan horse?? This is Windows XP with all the latest updates.

Here is my HJT log (i suspect it might be the xrt_shell thing? I don't recognize that.).
