Why do you believe they are still affecting your Mac? The report you posted contains no indication of their presence.


Please describe what it is you are encountering.


Do you really want to be running a torrent client? Running a torrent client invites a variety of problems, some of which may require completely erasing your Mac to correct. There is no indication of a Time Machine backup either.


Running a torrent client is OK as long as you consider your entire system sacrificial, meaning you do not care about the information on your Mac or the legal ramifications of sharing potentially copyrighted software and other content.
