Hi,
I was checking CCleaner's claims about Missing Shared DLLs and I discovered to my horror that some of them were invalid.
I have a program called BestCrypt, and CCleaner has entries for it's files in system32/drivers claiming they are missing shared DLLs but I can see them when opening explorer and viewing that directory!
Am happy to provide screenshots if you need proof.
cheers

Interesting.. can you double-check the entire path to the DLL files in the CCleaner screen, navigating that exact path using windows explorer.. and do you find the exactly same named .DLL files in that folder?
I checked out "what" your program is and due to the nature of it being a disc encryption utility, it is possible that there is some kind of protective mechanism in place to prevent those files from even being seen by user apps (i.e. CCleaner can't see the files but can see the registry links). (you wouldn't want just any app to interfere with your ability to read your hard drive, would you?)
I wouldn't sweat this too much. If you could -- backup your hard disc, then try the following -- Scan the registry, backup of those keys then accept deletion, then immediately do another scan, if the keys are still there then you don't need to worry about it, if they aren't then restore the keys immediately. (DO NOT reboot before restoring the keys!!!) I'm guessing you can't even remove the registry keys. If you can't remove them, then this is not an issue and you can just run the clean every time without worrying about it.
