When you were a kid, did you ever play one of those games where you bop something, another one pops up, you bop it, another pops up, going faster and faster?

Well, that's what we have here. I'm tenacious, so I'm willing to look at some more logs, try to chase the beasts down, but...

There is only so much abuse that a system can take, and yours has just been pummeled. I do not think that I have seen a system hit this hard, though some have been close. I don't know if you can ever get your system running the way that it should.

I would encourage you to seriously consider a reformat. At this point, I would also discourage your backing up and re-using much (just your address book and favorites, perhaps).

When you bring the new install up, that will give you the opportunity to start fresh with a good firewall, antivirus, spyware blockers, etc

It's up to you, but I think you're pretty "dead in the water".
