AVG free edition shows two trojans; IRC. Backdoor.SdBot.29.T, 

I went to the Grisoft web site and did a search for "backdoor" in the virus encyclopedia, and there is no listing for 
SdBot.  A search for "sdbot" returns nothing.  A search for IRC doesn't return anything that applies.

and Proxy.6.AG
kjhbb.exe and gfhhr.exe in system32 folder but it cannot clean them. Of
course deleting the files is no cure, because they come up again anad again.

You're most likely not killing the malware process.

Trend Micro housecall and Norton AV 2003 does not even show them.

I could not find any mention of them in Symentec Web site.

Try "Symantec" instead, or http://www.sarc.com.  Search for "sdbot" rather than the name given by AVG...not all malware 
is named the same thing by all a/v vendors.
