WIN 7 EventLog Missing

Hello and thank you for taking the time out to help me out with this particular issue I'm having. It's my own personal/work PC.

Dell Dimension 9100 service tag#2y84g81
Win7 Pro x64
4gb ram
(2x) 10K 160gb HD Raid:0
GeForce 9800 GTX+ & Radeon X1550
All other hardware is standard that came w/ machine except power supply.

I noticed today that my Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 10 lost it's connection w/ my NAS where the images are stored.
It says unable to retrieve information form the agent. Access Denied. Found out that there are 2 reasons why this would happen:
1. User does not have admin rights
2. The even log service is stopped.

I go to services and i can't find event log service anywhere.



I click on event viewer in admin tools and this is what i get



I looked all over the internet with hopes of finding a solution. I did find these solutions but nothing has worked thus far.

I did attempt to recover the pc to a couple of days prior w/o any luck. Event Viewer still missing.

Not sure if related, but later today I noticed that my Anti-Virus stopped working (Avast). I did try to start the service but it was unable to start.
I ran Malewarebytes and the scan returned 0 infections.
I also ran MGtools as recommended by your site. I attached the logs to this post.

I did also attempt to run ComboFix but does not run on X64 systems. (also recommended by your site).

Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and input on this matter.
