Winlogon.exe error and unable to shutdown

My computer is unable to shutdown properly since Monday, the 11th of February. I am turning off the power to shutdown. I've got an error "Winlogon.exe encountered a problem and needed to close." every time I log in but not sure if this is the error caused by not shutting down properly.

This is my Hijack log:

Hello,
The presentation of a "hijack this" log is usually a sign that someone told you to run the program due to a suspected malware problem. With that said, I would strongly encourage you to post your results in a specialized forum that is designed specifically to interpret the results of 'hijack this' logs. Sorry, I am not trained in that area.
