At least Network Shield and P2P Shield does not run as separate process. They don't consume that much RAM. Those are only extra modules i use.
Edit: Network Shield is HIGHLY recommened, since it:
Network Shield is a protection against known Internet worms/attacks. It analyses all network traffic and scans it for malicious contents. It can be also taken as a lightweight firewall (or more precisely, an IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
Network Shield protects you from internet worms that spread themselves via various security holes in your system. Typicaly these kind of viruses don't infect files but instead they attack running processes on your PC (either Windows components or some server programs like SQL Server, IIS etc.). These kind of attacks are not easily catched by ordinary antivirus during file or mail scanning. It is not a duplicate work with Standard Shield.
Basically, it covers all Internet worms. Such as Win32.CodeRed, Win32.SQLSlammer, Win32.Blaster, in32.Welchia (Nachi) and Win32.Sasser.

Try OpenDNS: http://www.opendns.com/

Hmmm, maybe --> Start>Run>cmd>OK.
Edit: You can also go; Windows\system32 directory, find cmd.exe and create a shortcut.

My opinion: not that good. Many, many false posites.

Looks like your Oma Tietokone and your Lataukset fell out of your Roskakori.
Well i have a Finnish language XP.

Doesn't ctfmon.exe basically re-create itself each time you reboot? I tried disabling it in my startup items, but it seems to keep coming back.
No, but i guess you have to do this first: http://www.pchell.com/support/ctfmon.shtml

You can also find it from this location: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

It's not only about RAM, it's about CPU cycles also. For some people this ctfmon.exe seems to cause high CPU usage problems.

Task Manager stated it was using 798 k (just under 1 MB), when in fact it was using 104 MB.
I wonder why so many modern antispyware/antimalware services use so much RAM.
I guess it uses .sys files, so it won't show in Task Manager.
They are bloated with so many unnecessary features and stuff.

What theme is that?
gNIGHT from deviantART. One of my favourite visual style with SlanXP (ver. 2 and 3).

So far, I have only used my flash drive for backups. I had Opera portable though, but i removed it, since it was so old version and i really don't have any use for portable Opera.

It has many false positives
I agree. It's pretty much the same thing with RegScrubXP. Comes up with same false positives = mostly "active" empty keys and Shell Folder entries.
What i mean by "active" empty keys, is that those keys are referring to programs you have currently installed on your system. Even though they are empty keys, it's not recommened, and totally safe to delete them.

What harm is there in getting rid of unused file extensions. If needed, aren't they re-created anyway?
Don't know why RegSeeker list them as unused, since they are registered with applications. Here's some examples:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.amc] @="QuickTime.amc" "Content Type"="application/x-mpeg" "QuickTime.bak"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.amc\OpenWithList] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.amc\OpenWithList\QuickTimePlayer.exe] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.amc\OpenWithProgIds] "QuickTime.amc"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.aif] "PerceivedType"="audio" "Content Type"="audio/aiff" @="QuickTime.aif" "MP2.Last"="Custom" "Winamp_Back"="QuickTime.aif" "QuickTime.bak"="Winamp.File" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.aif\OpenWithList] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.aif\OpenWithList\QuickTimePlayer.exe] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.aif\OpenWithList\wmplayer.exe] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.aif\OpenWithProgIds] "AIFFFile"="" "QuickTime.aif"=""

Wow, that Remove Empty Directories app sure found a lot of empty folders. I dinna wanna touch anything.
Remove them only, if the folder is referring to previously uninstalled program.

With entries you are unsure, you should always do some research. What is? Most registry cleaners offers an option to "open with Regedit". So right click that entry, select "Regedit" and check what is the deal there. Also, if the entry is referring to some file, you should check if that file exists on your system or not. If it does exist, don't remove the entry.
Don't remove empty keys, if the program its referring to, is installed on your system. Like mentioned, don't remove Shell Folder entries. Don't remove "Extension not used" and "Filetype not used" entries (atleast with RegSeeker), if the program(s) they are referring to, is installed on your system. They are not critical to remove anyway.
Edit: When i scan with RegSeeker, there's now 92 "invalid" entries, that i leave alone.

Each time I scan I get the "remove log off from Start menu" item. Why would I want to remove that? It's handy to have it right there...
You only get that item referring to Start Menu Log off button, if you ARE REMOVED that "Log off button" from the Start Menu by registry modification. So MBAM thinks, that maybe malware/virus has changed that registry setting. I have removed that "Log off button" from the Start Menu, because i don't use it anyway. Guess i want to keep things minimal.
