help with some items on hijack this log file

Not open for further replies.
I apologise in advance if I haven't followed the 'read this before posting hijack this log file' instructions completely.
I've scanned my computer with Windows Defender [which found nothing harmful!],Spybot Search and Destroy,Ad-Aware SE Personal,AVG and ewido anti-malware. I then did a Hijack This scan and looked up the results in several databases and online analyzers and fixed about 6 items that were definetely nasty.I'm just not sure about a few.
The main ones are 08 GoogleToolbar-related items, do I need GoogleToolbar at all? Does it do anything useful? If not how can I get rid of it completely or do I just fix the items with HiJack This?
Other ones are 017 items which I have Googled the ip numbers and found to be sites that I HAVE visited before,but should they be in the log file? What would happen if I fixed these?
Finally there is a 09 and a 016 item that has something to do with TrendMicro, am I right in thinking TrendMicro is some sore of antivirus program? I think I can remember getting it but it has since been out of use/expired.
I will attach the sections of my log file that I'm unsure about and hopefully someone can clear up which I need to fix.
Also I keep getting a message saying 'A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort this script?' I have been clicking Yes.
Thankyou

Run HJT with no other programmes open. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

Only fix the above 017 entries, if they don`t belong to your ISP.

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Reboot into normal mode and turn system restore back on.

It`s up to you if you want to keep the Google toolbar. If you don`t want it. You can simply uninstall it from add remove programmes in your control panel.

Trendmicro is indeed an antivirus application.

thanks and...

Thanks for getting back so quickly, I did everything you said, should I also un-check display the contents of system folders and re-check hide file ex.for known file types and hide protected opperating system files so that's all back to how it was aswell?
After I rebooted into normal mode a bubble came up saying 'You may be a victim of software counterfeiting. This version of Windows is not genuine. Click this bubble to fix this problem.' When I clicked on it it brought up a page from microsoft.com and said 'You have encountered an unknown error. Please contact your local product support team for assistance.' The error number [I think it's the error number] was 0x80080299 What does this mean?? I've had a genuine version as far as I knew until now? Please help.
I've attached my new hijack this log file, could you tell me if I'm clean now?
One last thing, is GoogleToolbar a pop-up blocker? If I remove it I should get another pop-up blocker shouldn't I?
Thanks!
 
First, your HJT log is clean.

Second, yes you can rehide your protected OS files etc.

Third, I`m not sure what the problem may be with your Windows coming up as not being genuine, unless of course it isn`t.

Maybe your should run the Windows updates and see if that fixes it.

Regards Howard :)
