I don't know all the stuff in the log, but it looks pretty thick. Have you tried running any antispyware apps to clean it up? Check out Warez' guide, or download Ad Aware, Spybot, and Windows Defender from MajorGeeks.com - Download Freeware and Shareware Computer Utilities.. They are all free and found under Anti-Spyware. Download each one, install one and update it, then scan. After it is finished, do the next. Make sure that you have Spybot immunize your system.

I have an antivirus program running and I do use adaware all the time. It never finds that much stuff though.

How do I use MSCONFIG? How do I cut down on stuff running?
