Problems with IE8, Ran Hitman & Bleep, don't know what to delete

Hi I am new to this forum and wonder if someone could give me some help please.

My computer is slow to start up. Can’t update IE8. when I do it won’t connect to the internet. some sites get “Script on page making it run slowly” . Also other problems. I regularly run Malewarebytes.

I have run the Bleepingcomputer adware remover, which shows 94 registry entries for possible deletion.
Also Hitman pro, which showed 194 references to Yahoo Toolbar, 1 to Softonic and 50 Tracking Cookies with option to Delete. Hitman said no threats but 251 traces. Whatever that means. And 3 suspicious but said to ignore.

I have been told to delete everything that comes up on these 2 programs but there seems to be a lot to delete and they look like they belong to programs I use. I don’t know what to keep or delete.

For example Bleepingcomp shows Under Services and under Files alot of AVG Secure Search and AVG Security Toolbar. references also Yahoo Companion

Under Regristry - here are a few examples, some look as though they belong to programs whilst others I have no idea what they are.
AVG Secure Search HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{EF99
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppID\{1FDFF \ScriptHelper.EXE \ViProtocol.DLL
\Classes\protector_dll.protector \TypeLib\ \ViProtocol.ViProtocolOLE
Explorer\Browser Helper Objects CurrentVersion\Ext\PreApproved\
l\Yahoo! Companion HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\IGearSettings

and alot of :
Key Found : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{8101 references

How do I know which to keep and which to delete? I don't want to delete registry items that are important to windows and Yahoo and AVG etc
　
Thanks in advance for any for any help you can give.

Thanks for reply

Sorry what does BHO stand for?

I have tried several times to update IE8 but new versions 9, 10 and 11 won't connect to the internet and I have to uninstall.

Yahoo came with BT Broadband
Recently reinstalled AVG, can't remember where from

At startup, I have already stopped all programs at startup that I don’t think I need immediately ie camera, printer, Quicktime, Adobe etc

There are 2 unknown ones
ISUSPM Startup Unknown HKCU Microsoft
Vprotect App Unknown HKLM Microsoft which I have left on for now.

　
These are some of the files that come up on Bleepingcomputer that are suggested may be deleted.
I keep deleting iwin games but it keeps coming back despite that all of my games have somehow been uninstalled somewhere along the way.

There are about 95 of these type of files

Why does it suggest that I should delete these?

Thanks for help

Thanks for suggestions. I am doing a couple of backups of all my photo files which take a while to do. then I will run bleep/adware again and delete them all and see what happens. If IE 8 still doesn't update and improves its performance I will have to try another browser.


Thanks

Ok I've run adware remover and cleaned off all that it highlighted. iwin task bar seems to have finally been removed although there are still iwin files that don't do anything.

I have finally managed to update IE8 to IE11 which took a few minutes. Last time I tried it took over an hour and then wouldn't work. So success at last.

Haven't run TFC yet as unsure how to manually reboot.

I have ordered a new monitor, which seems to have got lost in transit. By the time it arrives I hope to have updated the Graphics card. Scheduled updates have failed and the site says it needs Java. Computer Active magazine says to get rid of Java as it is a security risk. But if NVidia needs Java to update then surely it has to stay on the PC?

Here is the list of files that adware deleted. Hope you don't see anything that I shouldn't have deleted.

I have been thinking of buying Kaspersky anti-virus but a lot of people say that AVG is Ok. Some say Bitdefender is good but have heard it has some problems.

Thanks for any more comments you may have and for looking at the above list.

Thanks I thought manual reboot was more technical. I can manage restart.


I ran Herd Protect a couple of times and it only brought up 2 suspect items but said they were inconclusive but one said it was a Trojan so how can it be inconclusive?

Status: Inconclusive (not enough data for an accurate detection)

Scan engine Detection

File name: sintfnt.dll

Agnitum Outpost Trojan.PR.Ranky
ESafe Win32.Ranky.Ma
Trend Micro House Call PAK_Generic.001
Trend Micro PAK_Generic.001


File name: sintf32.dll
Bkav FE HW32.CDB
Jiangmin Packed.Katusha.ahkz
Trend Micro House Call PAK_Generic.001
Trend Micro PAK_Generic.001

I looked up sint.dll but it said dll were essential registry items so I don't want to delete them if they are essential. and I don't know what all the other terms mean ie PAK-Generic.

How come different ones show different things. Hitman shows a lot of things but I would have to pay to use it now, whilst AVG and Kaspersky and Avast say everything ok?

Any info on Sint.dll would be helpful.

Thankyou.
