    As far as programs you can uninstall, only one I would absolutely recommend you uninstall is Viewpoint Media Player. While not malware it is certainly considered foistware, because I doubt you chose to install it. It comes in with programs like AOL IM programs. You all ready have several perfectly good Media players on the computer there is no need for this one.
    That said, I see nothing suspicous on the uninstall list you would really have to choose. If there is something on that list that you never use then by all means uninstall it.
    Now for the auto starting programs in your HJT log I see these which definitely not required to run at start up, can use resources and can easily be run manually:
    MSMSGS->>>Windows Messenger utility. If you don't use Windows Messenger, this can be annoying. Available via Start -> Programs. This is NOT an IM program.
    Aim6->>Aol Instant messaging. Doesn't need to run on start up, can be started manually.
    QuickTime Task->>>System Tray access to Apple's "Quick Time" viewer from version 5 onwards, can be run manually
    iTunesHelper->>>Installed with Apple's iTunes for Windows. Uses ~3-4MB of memory and if disabled in MSCONFIG or deleted from the registry it will re-instate itself after running iTunes a few times, true but if you keep an eye on it via CodeStuff Starter you can always keep it from auto starting.
    TkBellExe->>>Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. Not required
    and this Service entry:
    Viewpoint Manager Service but if you uninstall the Viewpoint Media Player this should be gone, if not just disable it.
    I would advise you use the CodeStuff Starter program to disable all of the above.
    Judy
