There are so many ways to damage your registry it's not even funny, and there is no performance gain to be had!;)
Only time it may be necessary is when reinstalling or updating certain types of software like Adobe or Autodesk products to name a few!:)

I use a portable CCleaner. It is a pretty old version 5.21.
As I know that was never happened to Piriform before. But since Avast has acquired it happens. Because Avast wants to be a king of the world acquiring AVG and Piriform. However maybe I am wrong. But if Kaspersky acquired a Piriform it couldn't be happen I guess :)

Delete the "Agomo" entry and:
How do I remove the Floxif or CCleaner Malware?
The malware was embedded in the CCleaner executable itself. Updating CCleaner to v5.34 removes the old executable and the malware. CCleaner does not have an auto-update system, so users must download and install CCleaner 5.34 manually.

Hmm, nothing bundled in the Piriform CCleaner 'Pro' installer that I downloaded. It had built-in installers for Piriform's home use programs i.e. CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy.

Maybe a licensed copy installer does not have any those add-ons. As for AVAST, well, it's not a program I'd use for an AV solution hence never tried it.
