You might want to take a look at the Event Viewer. Right-click on My Computer and select Manage. Look at the Application and System event logs (see attached screen shot). If you find an error (or warning), double-click on the entry to get a description of the event. This may or may not provide enough information to solve…

when I run ccleaner it comes up with a bunch of missing shared dll in the registry is it safe to delete these or will it cause a problem?

To do that open BitDefender go to the antivirus section press on custom level and uncheck scan http traffic press on…
