Hello ptstone, and welcome to our forum!

I don't see anything bad in the log as far as spyware, trojans or virus anyway.

However there are two anti virus programs installed and running AVG and McAfee, that is most likely causing the slow down.

I would uninstall one of them, your choice. If you choose to uninstall McAfee remember he will need a firewall unless he is behind a router.
