I can't seem to find anything that would cause my dad's computer to run slowly but it is. I have tried running online virus scans such as Trend Micro but the computer keeps up coming clean. Would someone please take a look at this log for me. Thanks very much, I appreciate the help!

It looks clean. But what I do see is that it looks like he may have 2 firewalls running, Zonealarm and Symantec. Is this so? You never want to have more than one Antivirus or Firewall running at the same time. It can cause system slowdown, conflicts, errors, false positives, ect… I would advise you to remove one of them.
