    Yes your fine - ccleaner has a lot of filters for reg keys and files you may need, it will be deleting keys pointing to files no longer there and invalid uids, by default its safe don't worry :)

    PS - Also download this : " Autoruns" http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 this should highlight drivers and dll's that are no longer being used :)

    Open ccleaner click tools and click the name of the software you want to remove and run the uninstaller.

    Most of what you are doing (defrags/registry cleanups) will have no effect on speed, follow the speedup sticky, post commit charge and ram, then post another log. malwarebytes/rapport+mse will slow up youir system - avast free + malwarebytes free won't.
