CC Cleaner lists this as an unwanted item, however I am unable to delete it.

What is it? And how would you go about getting rid of it?

thank you~

A search for the GUID {80b8c23c-16e0-4cd8-bbc3-cecec9a78b79} reveals
that it belongs to Avira.

And how would you go about getting rid of it?

Do you have Avira installed on your computer?

To get rid of it, first back up your registry. Then boot from a
standalone windows CD like "Bart PE" or "Ultimate Boot Disk for
Windows". Then launch Regedit from the CD, mount the windows
system registry from your hard drive as a hive, delete the key, unmount
the hive, then reboot.

If you didn't understand anything above, you're better off not doing
anything at all. Chances are it's not hurting anything anyway.

HTH,

Yes, I do have Avira, I wonder why CC Cleaner has decided this is an unused
extension? Ah well, no matter, it can just ignore it from now on.

Thank you very much for that information,

Thank you John, I do understand the above. But as you pointed out it doesn't
seem to be hurting anything, so I'll just let it be.

For all you know the registry cleaner might be removing other valid
entries but the applications might just be silently recreating them when
needed. In this case you, or the registry cleaner, probably did not
have the needed permission to remove the key. Don't put too much faith
in these cleaners, they can and do at times cause problems. Your post
is a prime example, you didn't know what the key was for yet you trusted
the findings of the registry cleaner, one of those days you might regret
putting blind faith in these cleaners.
