Internet Explorer Not Working/Rootkit Agent

    Hi, hope someone can help.

    My system is Win XP Professional, Media Center Edition 2005, SP3

    IE not working, it just closes when I try to open it, so I cannot update windows, Malwareabytes etc or surf the Net. However, I can access Second Life ok through its shortcut icon.

    Ran Malwareabytes, it found Rootkit Agent and removed it but my PC would not reboot, I could only restart by selecting "Last Known Good Configuration". I cannot access Safe Mode even. If I run MAB again, it detects Rookit Agent and goes through the same process. AVG does not fix it either.

    It looks like MAB wants to delete the file on a restart but as my PC will not restart properly, it cant. All I can use is "Last Known Good" which brings me back to where I started.

    Would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
