Default registry deletions

Hi-Why is it that when I uninstall certain programs-especially antivirus
programs-that when I try to remove all remnants from the registry there are
certain entries,"DeviceDesc", Legacy..., etc. that I'm not allowed to remove?

Thanks-Alan

I found that RegSupreme keeps my Registry in good order.

Because the uninstaller is badly coded. You can right-click on the
registry key to change permissions to remove it.
