After the shop I bought my system at did extensive hardware testing finding nothing wrong with the equipment, they suggested I do another format, and this time reboot after the partition deletion, before installing the OS. I not only did that, I installed the OS on the blank second drive.
After getting the OS, it's updates and driver updates loaded, as well as AVG, Zone Alarm, Spybot, and Power DVD, I decided to download Firefox again.
Right after the Zone Alarm install I noticed the large window behind the desktop blinking faintly again, and realized it was from AVG's Control Center or Test Center, as it happened right when it's tray icon apperaed, and was the same size and look. At first I thought, uninstall Zone Alarm and/or AVG, but after getting no more of the End Now lockups on reboot, I thought it was just a normal startup flash of the program.
Right after installing Firefox however, I got another End Now message upon reboot, not a hang, just anpother one of those pesky quick flashes before it rebooted.
I did some Google searches after the tech at the shop told me the End Now messages said Trd ww at the top, which I told him I thought was related to the Total Recorder program.
The Google search links verified that many have had this problem with TR, and supposedly the error is associated with it's scheduler feature. Many say it affects various antivirus programs, and even SP2. I seem to recall one link mentioning that the problem lingers after disabling the Scheduler, and or uninstalling the program.
These End Now flashes I'm having right now are way too fast for me to read them, but I'm almost positive they are the same Trd ww errors, and I've not even reinstalled the program after the second format.

One of the guys mentioning he'd had this problem with TR, after going through the same routine I did with numerous spyware, antivirus, and HighjackThis logs, tried a program called EndItAll on his own, despite all the techs on the forum he was on insisting it was spyware and/or a virus in his system, just like they had done with me on the Avast and other forums.
Apparently he got the errors to stop with EndItAll, so I might try it.
