It'll ask if you want to back it up before you remove it, however backups are FAR from "fool proof", so the most important part is to only clean what you are assured are unneeded. Registry cleaning provides zero benefit to a pc's performance
purely from a curiosity angle, in trying to explain why the ActiveX/COM entries started to appear (and re-appear), you must have changed/added/upgraded software recently?
to stop those entries appearing the next time you run a scan, right click them and select Add to Exclude List, that way CC will no longer list them.
I've been wracking my tiny brain but cannot think of anything added/removed from the computer to cause this but I do tend to set programs to automatically update so am not totally aware of what goes on.

I have numerous things excluded. Do to the way some stuff is stored in the registry it can cause registry cleaners to deem them as errors. Also some files are self-registering.
