It found usually 2 or 3 trojans every day. Now it’s up to ten trojans a day.
I suspected something was wrong from the beginning, and that this was some attempt of some kind of malware to make me delete all my system files myself by tricking me into believing they were infected.
So I ran a full scan with another free online scanner while in Safe mode, and actually found that it was a malware in the registry, this is the report:
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware 1.40

Now how do I delete this malware if my Kaspersky Anti-Virus system can’t detect it?

If you really have trojans or other viruses and Kapersky finds them it also is completely capable of deleting them. Is this a limited trial version or did you pay for it and have you kept it up to date? My guess is this is a limited version. Get the real thing.
Most free scanners you get are scams. Perhaps I am misreading this but now that you seem to have downloaded them most are smart enough to turn off some of the AV programs. It is possible that the Malwarbytes’ program is not working correctly because of this. If you have an account with Kapersky give them a call. Again, if you don’t have an account with them you really need one now.

Just for our information, exactly what version of Kaspersky are you using?
It is the full install, correct?
Not just the online scanner which doesn’t remove anything ?
Also, did MBAM give you the option of repairing or quarantining the file?
And finally, what version of Windows are you running? Because you are *severely* behind on your Windows updates if you are running XP SP1.
