Can anyone advise me if I should remove these and if so how?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Yes remove them, no reason to have them on the system.

Run MB and delete what's found

Then run AdwCleaner and let it delete what's found.

Thanks so much MrC!

While you're here................

Lets check your computers security before you go and we have a little cleanup to do also:

Download Security Check by screen317 from HERE or HERE.

• Save it to your Desktop.
  
• Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
  
• A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt.
  
• Please Post the contents of that document.
  
• Do Not Attach It!!!
