Clean out CCsetup entries in Reg

I found a large number of entries in my registry like these for every version of CCleaner that I have installed over the years. Each uninstaller should be removing these, but they aren't. Since these are left over, perhaps CC could remove them for all older versions.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\ccsetup318_RASAPI32

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\ccsetup318_RASMANCS

I also found a large number (maybe 30) of similar entries for old Flash Player versions:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257_RASAPI32

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257_RASMANCS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\FlashUtil10h_Plugin_RASAPI32

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\FlashUtil10h_Plugin_RASMANCS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\FlashUtil32_11_2_202_228_Plugin_RASAPI32

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\FlashUtil32_11_2_202_228_Plugin_RASMANCS

The AAWService for the Ad-Aware program which has already been removed still exists.

There are also a lot of dead entries for Adobe Reader version 6, 8, and 9 scattered throughout the registry, even though those were removed long ago.

Also, many entries for old Java versions that no longer are installed:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\JavaSetup7u13_RASAPI32

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\jre-6u17-windows-i586-s_RASAPI32

Not a ccleaner bug, windows is what makes trace registry

plus CC, in particular its Registry Cleaner, has never be very aggressive in its approach.

far better to not remove something that isn't needed than to remove something that was.

Interesting, it must be a newer Windows thing to add in installers, etc., to trace non-OS files too because on my XP system it only has Windows OS related files in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tracing

You could always bookmark that key location you found and manually remove them.
