Anytime you make changes to the registry, you risk some pretty unpredictable results.
Unless you're certain that there's a virus in the registry, I'd just leave it alone.

I think that CCleaner is WONDERFUL. I used to have to call my brother about once a month to 'wipe a virus from my computer; but since I got CCleaner about 8 months ago, I haven't even had one problem. Of course, I also run a really good anti-virus program with it.... I recommend using Avast! and CCleaner together.

I have used it regularly for about a year on 12 PCs and 4 laptops, with no bad experiences to date. Each and everyone of them gets a weekly registry cleanup for maintenance, and everytime a program is installed.
Ccleaner is part of my basic toolkit for PC maintenance, it works great and I consider it safe, but you should do a backup of your registry at least before usign it for the first time.
If you need further help send me an e-mail.

I can't say, but CCleaner has never messed anything on my cpu up and I use it all the time.
