TL:DR

I am not going to change the system management practices I've been using for roughly 50 years on everything from IBM/360, DEC Vax, Tandem NonStop and PC's of various processors and OS's the basis of someone's scrawlings on an internet blog.

BTW the trojan that a disgruntled employee injected into the CCleaner installer when Piriform was acquired by Avast was detected by my installation of MS Defender at install time, but not by any of the AV tools at Virustotal (I tested it there at the time), nor by my installation of Malwarebytes.

Added: The reason I clean the registry regularly has nothing to do with performance. I do it to get rid of the crap so that it doesn't get in the way when I occasionally have to resort to editing the registry manually. And I get rid of the crap in small amounts so that I can understand its provenance and maybe take steps to prevent its reappearance.

BR
