Hi,

I don't see malware from your logs.. most of it are just leftovers..

I see you have P2P software ( Azureus Vuze, LimeWire 4.18.3 ) installed on your machine. We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept. However, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections. It may be contributing to your current situation. This page will give you further information.

Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.

References for the risk of these programs are here, here, and here.

I would strongly recommend that you uninstall it, however that choice is up to you. If you choose to remove this program, you can do so via Control Panel >> add/remove programs

If you decided to uninstall them, also delete these Folders if they still exist:

C:\Program Files\Azureus
C:\Program Files\LimeWire

Since it will not be needed again delete ResetTeaTimer.bat.

You may turn the Tea timer back on via SpyBots' tools> resident page when your computer is clean.

Note: If teatimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.
