File not found

[Humpty Dumpty]

When I run "autoruns" I find several Registry entries about inexistent files
("file not found"). The "publisher" and "description" columns are generally
empty.

Some examples:
- Changer.sys
- PDFrame.sys
- PCIDump.sys
- QDFSDRV.SYS
- apitrap.dll
-ir8ul5191.dll (It says that the owner is "Windows Update")


My question:
Is it safe to delete those entries from the Registry? I feel that some of
them might be malware. A "search" confirms that the files do not exist in my
computer.
TIA

Why are you running Autoruns?

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Shouldn't I? I read somebody here advising to do so. One reason might be to
find malware that loads on startup.
Thank you anyway, but I still don't know what to do.
