IF you see others and you do not know what they are for either they really do not belong or you do not know enough to be doing any of this. Make a backup of the file before you change or delete anything.
Then you can run something like HiJackThis to get the rest out of the system. Run a good virus scanner, and a good spyware scanner. Erase all deleted files with a good scrubber.
