Well, since the problem is fixed, I guess you can safely trash these preference files, since Help Viewer probably recreated them anyway. As for Zinio, check your account in the 'Accounts' system preferences. Look in the 'Startup Items' for something with 'Zinio' in the name. Then, select it and press backspace or the little "minus" button at the bottom left, below the list.
