You remove the Java and you may have trouble using various websites.
A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems to support widespread software distribution, in particular over the Web. It is a smaller and more secure version of the C++ programming language.
Investopedia Says: Because of strict controls over software distribution, the Java design protects against the delivery of incompatible software or viruses.
Not all BHO's are bad, browser helper objects are plugins to your browser that extend the functionality of it.
All of this is up to you, but you are running the very best, most recommended anti-spy/anti-malware programs around. You obviously are very careful about what you do and where you go on the internet, by getting rid of java and other items you really can be crippling your computer or your enjoyment of it. I run all the security programs you run, I also keep my java updated...I have no spyware, have had no spyware, viruses or hijackers..I do NOT run HiJackThis as a maintenance program, have never had to run it.
Of course all of this is up to you, but you are missing out on a lot.
By the way, this entry I neglected to mention is Yahoo.com....O16 - DPF: {30528230-99f7-4bb4-88d8-fa1d4f56a2ab}
You know how to read HJT logs, but most people do not. I cannot stress more, this is NOT a maintenance program to be used on a regular basis, it is an AID to be used as one of the last steps to clean up an infected computer, and using it without System Restore enabled is also a risk. Remove the wrong thing and you have no backup. It IS very easy to remove the wrong thing using HJT. Many items which may look wrong are not.
