As many others have said I use the common Unix utilities (grep/more/less /cut etc) to manipulate logs. There are many versions available for Windows systems, I use cygwin to give me a Unix style environment on my desktop system.
I also use Textpad and - my absolute favourite - ZtreeWin (http://www.ztree.com). This would be my choice if I were only allowed one application. It's primarily a file manager but it has file viewer/search features and it will easily handle 2GB files on a sufficiently powerful machine.
