I just ran the proyection scan from Microsoft's security website, the scan found the severe issue; PWS.Win32.Sinowal.gen!U, and said that it could not clean it. Can anyone advise as to how I can remove this known threat, please?

It's doubtful if anyone has experience with PWS:Win32/Sinowal.gen!U since it was added to the Malware Protection Center Database on 2/25/2010, but you can inquire at the Safety Scanner support forums:

http://boards.msn.com/safetyboards/forum.aspx?ForumID=13

They will want to know the location of the detected infection as reported in the Safety Scanner Results Window, and at a minimum, your OS (32 or 64 bits), browser/version, and installed AntiVirus/Anti Spyware/Firewall.
