[Registry: Uninstaller Reference Issue]

Hi, I'm running CCleaner for the first time, I appreciate the depth, breadth, and ease of use! Still, there are some things I don't know, and I'd like not to send my system to kingdom come, as it were. So

 

1. When I scan for issues under Registry Integrity : Installer, I get a bunch of entries that all say "Uninstaller Reference Issue". These entries are:

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB890046$\agentdpv.dll 56.00KB

I see that these are all uninstaller-related. Do I need these for anything? And what does "Uninstaller Reference Issue" mean? Are these simply affiliated with applications that have already been uninstalled?

 

Thanks!
