    I've just gotten a new Asus F8SV-B1 running Windows Ultimate 64 bit.

    Whenever I do a Registry scan, the following three issues come up.

    The COM component CLSID\{A167B942-CD17-4d00-BDD9-8FDC2DC158F2} references an invalid CLSID. These are often left behind after uninstalling software.

    Solution: Delete the registry value.



    The COM component CLSID\{A6F1684D-AED6-401b-9786-A3E3B53C6641} references an invalid CLSID. These are often left behind after uninstalling software.

    Solution: Delete the registry value.



    The software key: Software\InstallShield does not contain any information so can be removed. These references are often left behind after uninstalling software.

    Solution: Delete the registry key.


    Whenever I try to delete these three, CCleaner tries to but can't.

    What do I do to get rid of these things?

    Are you running in Administrator mode?

    Which version of CCleaner are you using? Maybe the most up to date version might fix the problem you're having.
