Nothing much that I can see on the logs, perhaps you can try uninstalling Outpost to see if it is indeed the problem. Sometimes security software may conflict with each other for some reason.

After the removal, run ESET. Hopefully won't take away much of your time. :)

ESET Online Scanner
I'd like us to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

Note: If you are using Windows Vista/7, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.

*Note
It is recommended to disable onboard antivirus program and antispyware programs while performing scans so there are no conflicts and it will speed up scan time.
Please don't go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your antivirus along with your antispyware programs.
