Cheers hope this helps got the info from spybot

I dont understand your question completly


Leave the first two normally these are hidden and necessary
Microsoft XML Parser for Java
DirectAnimation Java Classes
You can remove all others from the downloaded program files folder) they get put back the next time called for,,
But why manually ?
You need to let SpyBot fix
those confirmed spyware mail ware items, there is more to it than just removing the active X controls.
"CLSID database: confirmed malware
Description: Xupiter "
"CLSID database: confirmed malware
Description: ePlugin dialer "
and anything else it finds


windows update
I would turn it off from control panel , automatic update ,
doing that would remove the activex controls, opt to manualy update windows instead, I usaly check about every two weeks.

I have win me also , I let SpyBot clean(fix) all but
windows setup (tracks)
windows
windows explorer.
ms search assistant
ms regedit
logs
and cookies I want to keep
because if I let it I lose the ability to have
personalized favorites in IE and in the start menu.
Not sure witch one goofs it up
You can get some info about those confirmed By with spybot
in advanced mode clicking info & licence then product info then use the drop down and

http://www.tnc4u.com/MCInst.cab and http://www.phonesys.net/EPlugin.cab
look like things I would delete. The first is Download Plus which is not well regarded.
http://www.spywareguide.com/spywarelist.html
IEPlugIn is also in that list, but, while I do not know if it is the same as Eplugin, you can see from the Spybot report that EPlugin and Download Plus are "Confirmed Malware ". You want to use Spybot to delete both programs (not just the ActiveX controls) in their entirety.
The other items look legitimate. Whether you want to keep them or not is somewhat up to you since it depends on whether you use the associated programs (which are described by the Spybot report). Personally I would not want the Windows Update Manager (WUPDMGR.EXE) since it is always calling the internet to look for Updates. But if you decide to get rid of the ActiveX part of the program, you should uninstall the whole Windows Update Critical Notification program through Control Panel|Add/Remove.
IUCTL.DLL comes from the Windows Update Troubleshooting program. I guess you must have run it recently?? I would think you could get rid of them since you can always reinstall.
See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=243787 and
http://www.support.gateway.com/s/SOFTWARE/MICROSOF/7509594/FAQ2/7509594faq13.shtml
for more info. It is possible wuv3is.dll and WUPDMGR.EXE came from use of the Troubleshooting program, also.)
And while legitimate, I think I would get rid of the QuickTime plug in, too, unless you use Quick Time frequently. If you ever need it, you will be asked to redownload it. QT plug-ins often cause problems with other programs. In fact, there is a chance it might have something to do with the problems you mention in your other post.
FLASH.OCX is somewhat similar. If you use Shockwave Flash Player frequently, keep it. If you do not, uninstall the Shockwave program in its entirety. It won't work anyway if you just delete FLASH.OCX.
In closing, I am curious why you posted this message. Are you having a problem other than as posted in the other thread? If yes, tell us more.
