Repost the log, but this time disable "word wrap" in Notepad. The log is hard to read.

What exactly is your problem with accessing firewall?I attatched it. Cannot SEEM to get word wrap off here.
I go to lturn off or on....the firewall, and it won't open then it says the service is turned off. I go to firewall in services and it says "windows unable to start windows firewall"



[attachment deleted by admin]I don't see any immediate threat, but I can see some Norton leftovers, while you're using Avira as your protection program.
Run Norton Removal Tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
Restart computer afterwards, and see, if you can bring Windows firewall up.
