    As I told you :)

    Most tools, we used should be gone after using OTL Cleanup.
    Whatever is left, you can delete.
    I wouldn't be using Advanced System Care since it deals with registry, which may be dangerous.
    All you need for cleanup, is TFC tool, we used.
    You can surely keep Superantispyware, which along with Malwarebytes should be enough to keep your computer clean, if you run both tools once in a while.

    As for Hippo updater, never install any betas.
    As for other updates, you need to use your judgment.
    If some program has some minor update, say from 3.11 to 3.12 version, I wouldn't bother, but, if there is some major update, like from 3.1 to 3.5, I'd go for it.

    Here are your startups:

    O4 - HKLM..\Run: [avgnt] C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\avgnt.exe (Avira GmbH)
    O4 - HKLM..\Run: [EXSHOW95.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\System32\exshow95.exe (Kensington Technology Group)
    O4 - HKCU..\Run: [Advanced SystemCare 3] C:\Program Files\IObit\Advanced SystemCare 3\AWC.exe (IObit)
    O4 - HKCU..\Run: [swg] C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe (Google Inc.)
    O4 - Startup: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\HPAiODevice(hp psc 700 series) - 1.lnk = C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\AiO\hp psc 700 series\Bin\hpobrt07.exe (Hewlett-Packard Co.)
    O4 - Startup: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE (Microsoft Corporation)


    As I said before, you can safely uninstall Advanced System Care.
    Then, you can disable last two (in bold) as startups.
