BleepingComputer.com: Slow/not fully functional browser

Hello, first time poster on this forum.
A few days ago, my browser began being slow. Sometimes it's normal, then 5 minutes after it's slow again. Sometimes sites don't work at all (e.g. says it's unavailable) although, a few refreshes on the page and it works again.
Sometimes sites are torn up (loaded like text only if you know what i mean), and sometimes buttons are missing.
I've gotten a few ideas how to solve it, but none has worked so far (deleted temp. files, reset router etc.)

Now I don't know much about these logs, but I've been looking at some of those "file missing" entries. They're running even though Hijackthis says they're missing.
Also, uTorrent is running, but I'm not down/uploading anything at the moment.
If anyone of you would scim this report, I'd be happy and if the log is alright, I'd appreciate a referral to which sub-forum my issue could be resolved.

Thanks in advance!
