Trojan deleted but still: desktop icons locked, scroll wheel locked and makes IE work

Folks,
I had issues today with desktop icon refusing to move and very slow performance. While I have Zonealarm Pro as my spyware and firewall s/w and AVG as my virus software, I assumed that something had come through.

1 I down loaded Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. It found the following:

Files Infected:
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\atmgr.exe (Trojan.Agent) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.

2 I turned off and on the laptop, taking out the battery to make sure all was reset.

3 I reran the Virus, Spyware and Malware scans which all came back clean.

4 I restareted.

5 The problems persisted.
-The icons on the desktop are still locked (Auto arrange and arrange to grid are NOT turned on.)
-My mouse scroll wheel doesn't have any effect.
-After a restart, when I try to open IE, it takes itself into offline mode and trys to start a dial-up connection???

6 I downloaded HijackThis.exe and ran the scan.

7 I posted this. HijackThis scan details below.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'm non-techie, but reasonably competant, and follow instructions well!

Have now used Windows Malware checker and Spyware S&D too. Neither reported any problems. Burt I'm still having problems.
- Really slow startup.
- While the processes show nothing strange is happening, the machine has slowed to an almost halt.
- I'm now having difficulty logging in at all. Even in safe mode, when I getto the login hascreen, the password box won't open to allow me to log in. If I open in sradnard mode, I getone chance to login. i.e. it opens the passowrd box once and if I click smeplace else on the screen and the password box closes, then ihave to restart to get another chance.

Please help!

Folks,
I'de recently installed / updated my Zonealarm. Never had issues with it before. But it's a disaster! It was Ver 8.0.059.000. So ifyou're having problems, go to the uninstall menu item in Start Program>ZoneAlarm, and right click to get the target. At the end of the line, after the parentheses, type
\clean
and then save. You might want to make a note of your licence key now. then go back to Start Program> zonealarm> uninsall and allow it to uninstall completely.

I'd installed Spybot S&D before I did this, and it told me that the software was trying to uninstall. I allowed it to do so. THEN it said that there was another change going on in the registry. I aske dfor more info and got an oddly worded info back, with unprofessional terms in it. It seemed to be referring to the zonealarm as a resource hog. Maybe it was a programmers sense of humour?? But i refused it anyway. Restarted, and all problems are sorted now.

So now, i shall contact Zonealarm to bawl someone out and tell them to fix their buggy software! You have been warned! Hope it helps.
