[IE] Which IE7 Broswer Add-Ons Do I Need? Browser Slow

I have Internet Explorer 7 and was wondering which IE add-ons are necessary of the following:

Shockwave Flash Object:
Type: ActiveX Control

Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper
Type: Browser Helper Object

SSVHelper Class
Type: Browser Helper Object

Sun Java Console
Type: Browser Extension

Research
Type: Browser Extension

The above are the browser add-ons that are currently loaded into my IE7. However, my IE7 browser is becoming slow to load, where when I surf the web, it doesn't go as fast as it should. I checked for spyware, viruses, etc., and everything comes back clean.

Could any of those add-ons effect my browser speed, and which ones do I really need?

Thanks so much in advance for your input. It's appreciated!

Does the following help any?:

IE > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > remove the checkmark in front of "Enable third party browser extensions" > OK then restart IE.

If that does not help re-enable third party browser extensions.

If it does help, you would have to track down the third party browser extension causing the problem.

Also, is there any reason you do not want to install IE8 which will offer more control over third party browser extensions?
