Adwcleaner wants to delete many items in my Registry

on AdwCleaner by ****

How do I know what I want to keep? For example, "HKCU\Software\One System Care sounds like something important. Do I need to delete these things if I want to clear my PC of malware?

Thanks for your comments prston - I am keen to use AdWare and am assuming this is a false positive but as I cannot get it past Norton I need to report that this is the case and hope the situation can be resolved with Norton so I can benefit from using it.

Re: AdwCleaner is NOT a THREAT -- IT REMOVES THREATS.

Avec la version 5.016 j'avais tout supprimé et revacciné avec SpywareBlaster.

A présent je ne supprime plus.
