I'm not a HijackThis guru, but you can remove the (file missing) entries and I know that some people suggest that you remove the (no name) (no file) entries as well, but I have found some of those on my pc that I needed, so I'm not going to recommend that. I also remove the toolbar entries except for the ones I actually use, like I removed my antivirus toolbar, because it's pretty useless (so I think anyway).

Lots of stuff is pretty much self explanatory. If you can tell what it is and you know you don't use it you can remove it (i.e. Messenger button).

The startup list depends on your preference. You should go through it yourself and check which programs you want to start on boot and which ones you don't. A nice site for looking up what processes and startup programs are is [URL=http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm]AnswersThatWork.com[URL]
