A few days ago, my computer began running incredibly slowly. Programs are crashing left and right, and my usual system cleans don't seem to be helping anything so please, if you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Even though there is so anti-virus protection, I don't see anything nasty in the log.

Run ActiveScan online virus scan:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm

Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button.
A new window will open...click the Check Now button.
Enter your Country.
Enter your State/Province.
Enter your e-mail address and click send.
Select either Home User or Company.
Click the big Scan Now button.
If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it.
It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan.
When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
Post the contents of the ActiveScan report.

It doesn't appear virus related then.

Have you added any new software or hardware?

[SquirrelNinja]

nothing major, but I uninstalled everything I installed recently to be on the safe side, and no luck. (That is also why there was no anti-spy, I had AVG and uninstalled it after the crash, I figured that probably wasn't the problem but I'm going to re-install it soon)

[Cheeseball81]

'Nothing major'......so something was installed then?

[SquirrelNinja]

Let me think, I installed within say the past few weeks I think I installed
Grease Monkey (now uninstalled)
Itunes along with a few podcasts
Apprentice [the MTG emulator, now uninstalled]
Torrents for Episodes 1-5 of Darker than black (currently deleted)
Adobe Flash Cs3 Torrent (now uninstaled) [this could have likely installed somthing]
Wise Registry Cleaner 2.4 (uninstalled, though I installed this after the crash along with another download on the same site that I ended up canceling, I think it was for DVD backup software.)

[Cheeseball81]

Eh.......torrents...

How much RAM do you have
