Trojan-gen...False Positive?

I stayed away from registry issues. If you click "Issues" it brings us Registry issues, then did scan. What it came up with was a lot of Unused File Extensions, Active X issues, Uninstaller Reference issues and Old Start menu keys. I decided just to shy away from this area.

The issues element is an entirely separate part and need not be/doesn't run when you run the temp cleaning (main) part of ccleaner.

I use a diferent program for playing/cleaning with the registry (a specialist registry cleaner), 'Government Health Warning editing the registry can seriously damage your health (system's)'
So you are wise in leaving what you don't know alone, redundant/empty registry keys may increase the size of the registry files and may contribute to registry file fragmentation which may have a slight performance hit, but they rarely do any harm.

I think I'd feel a bit safer letting Reg Supreme and Diskeeper take care of registry files that are defunct and defrag the simple way. I've got Diskeeper set to scan daily, all day and run an analysis once a week to clean up what the "Set it and Forget It" function may not have been able to keep up with. I've been into the registry to change/delete files but, I knew what I was looking for or followed someone's instructions. Not afraid to go there but, I need to know iin my own mind what I'm looking for. That's one place you have to tread lightly.
