    IF u understand what those keys are/refer to then u can use them, but with caution i.e. not deleting the entries about which you don't know what they're.
    Better yet, make a backup of the keys your gonna delete as offered by CCleaner.

    Yeah! Ccleaner will most probably list them as "Missing Unistall Reference" or similar and you can remove them from there. They no longer will appear in Windows's uninstall or Revo's list.

    Aye, I don't move a lot of files around myself so I only use it about once every 3 months when I perform all my other scheduled tasks. I take about a hour out of my day and clean out the inside (2 smokers and 2 cats put out a lot of dirt and grime), defrag, run the cleaner, and just make sure everything is tightened down and still spinning like it should. My older 9500GT I usually take out and take a q-tip to since the fan is starting to show signs of age and I also pay special attention to the power supply since that could cause a fire and would bork my entire system if it went out.

    After reading this article Are Registry Cleaners Safe to Use? ~ Chris Pirillo, I realized I've harmed my machine instead of "cleaning" it. What should I do now?
    Not everyone agrees with Chris Pirillo's or his friend Kat's opinion.

    I use PC Tune ups 2011 & Uniblue PC Suite 2011 to maintain my pc. Along with Diskmax (Which i have to say, is actually amazing)

    I do use CC cleaner and do use it to delete old registry problems, so far I've not had any problem. I maintain my pc daily.

    To be quite frank, if you “clean” your registry often enough, it will become fragmented. That WILL result in slower system performance… quite the opposite of what you were trying to accomplish in the first place. I think I’d rather have orphaned keys in my registry, instead of deleting something by a so-called “cleaner” that should have never been touched.
    I never knew this :S
