Automatic Startup Program Changed as in Gone

I had a virus PUP (conduit) again, and in removing it got the mssgs shown. Well google didn't seem to resolve my questions. Maybe I couldn't figure correct search terms.

Are these necesasary or can I get by w/o em? I get the impression they should be in place. There was another not shown I think was Igfxtray.exe which evidently is not critical.

It seems I must reinstall windows or do a repair off the install disk. For some reason that seems a bit much. Might I then have to redo all the updates?

Can I restore to a point a few days ago and get em back? That also seems a bit much since I just updated several programs and am not sure what the restore would leave me. Presumably all that updating would have to be done again? Not impossible but a PIA.

So.
Do I really need those programs?
What happens if I leave them gone?
Which of the above is my best easiest way to get em back.
Is there another method to get em restored?
