BleepingComputer.com: Contextual ads by Precisead

I get pop up ads while running firefox and it's in Contextual Ads by Precisead. I removed RON Too1 in the control panel even tho it said that by doing so my computer might not run right again. I also have a "run" box type thing in the add and remove programs area that I haven't touched. I'm running Bit Defender Total Security and thought I was protected. Someone told me about Limewire and I was fooling around in it today and Bit Defender blocked several trojans, so no programs were installed except Open Office. My guess is that in playing around in Limewire, something got through even though I didn't install anything. In any case, looks like I'm infected. I'm attaching the logs. I appreciate your help. One of the Dss files has a screensaver extension and I can't upload it. I'm sure I did something wrong, but don't know what. I'm pretty good with computers but this stuff is way out of my area of knowledge. Sorry. Just tell me what you'd like me to do and I'll do it.
