Avast wasn't present in your first log. What's up with that?

This is very important, when trying to fix computers:
Do ONE thing at a time, and don't do ANYTHING I'm not aware of!

I called a friend of mine for some help during the time I was trying to fix the problem, and I told him Id done a comprehensive virus check using Norton 360. He then told me that norton was a heap of crap so I should download Avast instead.
Which one do you recommend I keep? Ive heard that Norton can be a spanner in the works when you try to do a system restore, which could be the case for me because my system restore does not work nomatter what date I choose.

I had Norton 360 and it was indeed a heap of crap.
Before that I had Norton 2003 and I thought it was the best paid Antivirus.
After getting a new computer, we took the good expectations we had from Norton and bought 360. Absolute Rubbish.

If it were me, I would keep Avast.

I agree, but if decide to get rid of Norton, use Norton Removal Tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Could you have a think about another internet problem ive been having? Whenever Im downloading something from xbox live or sky player, my internet switches off then switches back on again after about a minute. The download then resumes but then after another short period of time the internet will switch off and on again. The download will eventually complete but it would go probably 5 or 6 times as fast if my internet did not keep turning off during the download. Any idea what is happening here?

Could it be something wrong with your ISP? (just throwing questions out here)
