My Toshiba laptop has suddenly developed a problem where I can NOT successfully send anything to my printer for printing wirelessly. I click print, but the printer does not respond.
Also, in my Yahoo email program, when I click on "New" to create a new email, the new email that opens is missing the bar that allows me to choose font, size, color, etc. When I type in the email, it uses a very basic font, and there are no other choices of font. It feels like a "fake" new email has opened.

I do not see an infection in the logs you posted, but I see:
SUPERAntiSpyware, Microsoft Security Essentials, COMODO Internet Security, Norton PC Checkup, and something from Avast 5. Choose one complete suite and stick with it.
Also, I see a lot of processes running. Do you really need everything to run at the same time?
Regarding the printing issue, I recommend that you go ahead and disable both Windows Firewall and Comodo Firewall and see if you can print.
I do not want unnecessary processes running, and suspect that some of the processes have been initiated without my knowledge. How do I go about disabling/ stopping/ removing processes that I do not want running?
I will not recommend any special tools for that as most tools tend to give you access in places you can damage your computer.
To deactivate programs that are set to start as your Windows starts: 1. Click on the Start button and type directly in the search box then press Enter: msconfig This will bring up the System Configuration Utility. 2. Click on the Startup tab an expand the columns by hoovering and then clicking on the line that separate each column header (the icon will change it's shape, so you can't miss it). 3. Look in the Command column mostly and at the names of the folders. You will easily identify most of the entries there. Note: For the entries that you can not identify, write them here and I will tell you all about them. 4. Uncheck the boxes for the programs that you do not wish to start by themselves. 5. Press OK and restart the computer. 6. When the computer starts back up, you will see a window telling you that you have chosen to run the System Configuration Utility. To stop having that message displayed all the time, before you go ahead and press OK, make sure that you check the box "Do not show this message...".
The good part is that anything that is turned off from the Startup tab can not have any impact on your system.
I recommend that you disable all or most of the entries there. The programs that actually need to start with your Windows have separate services that automatically start the programs, when you need them (such as the printer panel).Andreea-Luciana Ostache Senior Support Technician EN support@bullguard.com www.bullguard.com
