"OptimizeSpeedDevice will damage your computer"

I have followed John Galt's instructions in his post About those "<app> will damage your computer" messages. I am in the category of people who followed his "Expanded instructions for anybody." and am now at the point in his instructions where I need to post screenshots and ask for the community's help. So, here are my screenshots. Can anyone please help me know what I should do from this point forward? Thank you.

Boot into Safe Mode and delete (just) the red-highlighted entry.


The yellow-highlighted entries might be legitimate, but look odd, and I don’t recognize the products.
