RegCure and Microspft Security Essentials

Using CCleaner for several versions without (known to me) problems.

Now moved to Windows 7 and Microsoft's Security Essentials. First scan produced warning of "High" threat from Win32/RegCure, and recommendation for "Cleaning"(?).

Security Essentials seems not to allow for copying details report (to reproduce here). However, all of the details involve CCleaner files held in NON-Operating (Utilities collection) or archived -- Windows.old (?), OLD DOCS -- folders.

Is RegCure actually used by CCleaner? Is there any kind of problem here?

RegCure has nothing to do with CCleaner and is a different program.

However it doesn't have many good reports associated with it.

Thank you. A little more digging turned up a Registry Cleaner (RegCure?) in my CCleaner Utilities folder! That un-installed app is what Security Essentials found.
