The only security program I see in your log is AVG Anti-Spyware, which is unfortunately insufficient to protect it from malware - you should have both an anti-virus program and a software firewall. Can you tell me how long the PC has been this way.
Then my best advice to you is to reformat and reinstall. It is going to be impossible to guarantee a clean computer at the end of the removal process, which makes it something of a waste of time to start it in the first place. The possibility that legitimate files may have been infected or corrupted by the malware present on your PC, and also that security settings may have been lowered making your computer more liable to infection in the future, means that starting over is the easiest and most reliable solution to your problems. You also need to be aware of the risk of identity theft if you have accessed bank accounts with this computer or shopped online. Keylogging software could have recorded details of these actions and a lack of an effective firewall means that there is nothing to stop this information being sent home. If this does apply to you, i'd monitor your accounts and perhaps consider getting credit/debit cards, passwords etc… changed - obviously not using this PC! This is a worse-case scenario, but you should be aware of what could happen. Should you want them, I can provide links to free software that will help keep your PC malware-free in the future.
