Problem with permissions and startup items

I very naively did some chmod stuff on the Mac Terminal as an attempt to fix a problem with an App.:

Code: 
a) sudo chmod -R 777 /Library
b) sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications
c) sudo chmod -R 777 ~/Library
d) sudo chmod -R 777 ~/Applications
e) sudo chmod -R 777 ~/Documents

It didn't work to solve the issue though. I later used the disk utility to restore the permissions, but now there are 5 warnings that appears at startup as "Insecure Startup Item disabled"

  • ChmodBPF
  • fxlicensemanager
  • HWNetMgr
  • HWPortDetect
  • StartOuc

I know the last 3 are related to Huawei modem I installed once but I'm not using right now. No idea about the other two.

  • Would be safe to just delete all these items?
  • Is there something else I can do at the Terminal as to fix any potential issue?
