HELP! Possible PSW.sinowal.c.boot???

[John B]

Any help here would be most appreciated.

My computer seemed to be running fine until last week when a friend suggested I download a free version of AVG Antivirus and Antispyware. I did and ran it. It said it found PSW.sinowal.c.boot on my computer. I let the program do whatever was suggested and have had nothing but problems since. My computer takes forever to boot up or reboot. I tried doing a System Restore to undo any changes but every time it says it cannot restore. My Hijack This logfile is below. PLEASE HELP. Thank you.
