Another 'technical help request' thread

Well, wherever you see "(file missing)", that's a good hint that you've got a problem.  Also, two of your services strike me as bad ideas, but your machine, your risk.  PopCap and WildTangent have both been known to cause system stability issues, though PopCap has gotten better about that lately.  Both are intrusive, IMO, and have no business on a machine.  Simply put, why do you need a background process running for games that you aren't playing at that moment?
That said, given this log, I'd suspect that something ate your networking subsystem.  Not likely malware, but possibly a botched malware removal or misapplied patch.  You should not have those services references pointing to missing files.
First thing I'd suggest is a full disk scan, which will take some time.  If you have bad sectors where those files used to be on your drive, this will flag them so you can work around them in the future.  After that's checked out, the simplest fix is to reinstall Windows.  But you can try replacing each missing file manually, though that doesn't guarantee success.
Edit to add: by 'disk scan' I mean a scan for disk errors, not a virus or malware scan.  Under My Computer, right-click on your C: drive, choose Properties, then Tools, then Error Checking or Scan for Errors or whatever your flavor of Windows calls it.
