windows registry is designed to be very efficient, a few extra entries are not going to slow it down at all
the registry itself cant slow things down, only some entries can cause more slowdowns, lots of stuff in windows startup, or context calls, or services
uninstalling norton is the best way to speed up a pc
This is a feature that frree AV have latched on too in order to scare unaware Windows users into buying a subscription. It is nothing more than a cynical marketing tool to hook onto peoples better nature to sell them a product.
I would also uninstall Norton from any computer.
Usually, when you have clean install, make a restore point, which will safe your current regestry.
I do a lot of work with the registry, a lot of the applications that the development team I'm on write rely on registry entries. I'm manually editing things all the time. My opinion is it's just busy work programs like Norton do to make you feel like they're doing a lot, when a lot of what they do is inconsequential.
All the registry is are some key:value pairs and programs only use the ones they care about. Dead, unused, invalid keys aren't used and don't matter and don't hurt anything. It's the equivalent of having some clutter under the passenger seat in the car. Cleaning it out might make you feel better. But it doesn't matter to the car at all, doesn't affect performance in the least.
I wouldn't worry too much over it. I used to when I ran Norton, twenty years ago, and now I don't because I can tell you it's pretty much nothing and no benefit.

Thats an easy way to get rid of useless startup processes and general junk nobody needs to run.
Some people have a great command of the system and can clean it manually. You don't HAVE to clean the registry at all. You don't really gain anything by it computer-wise and in rare cases, it can remove the wrong keys.
But if you want a fresh-and-clean feeling, many third party cleaning apps like CrapCleaner will do it for free. I use another utility which is less aggressive than CC very now and then. I've never noticed a difference.
Edit: oh by the way: NortonLifelock owns Piriform--the maker of CCleaner.
@OP - CCLeaner - https://www.ccleaner.com/
Free version is 30 day trial, then cuts out a bunch of the active monitoring crap once the trial runs out. Basic usage for on-demand cleaning of junk files and registry (separate tools, you dont have to use file cleaner to use reg cleaner) will remain intact in the free version.
Create a folder in your documents called Registry Backups and make sure you *always* backup before allowing it to clean the registry (it offers the option every time). In the (highly unlikely) chance that the registry clean causes issues you can boot into safe-mode and revert the changes from the backup. In the ~15 years I have been using CCleaner on various machines from XP - Win 10 I have had a sinlge total instance of having to undo the reg changes, and in the end despite CCleaner making the change, it was the other program that was at fault and unable to make the correct calls after the redundancies were deleted. So the one and only time I had to revert wasn't even CCLeaner's fault haha.
When *properly and regularly* maintained there is little reason if any to ever have to re-install Windows. I have a machine with a Windows 7 > 10 upgrade install that has been running off the same factory OEM base since 2010/11 (machine built in late 2010 purchased early 2011). Though the system is a bit slow now days due to the hardware's age, the machine itself still posts nearly identical benchmark scores, still boots in the same relative time (tested and logged at time of purchase for comparison over time) and still runs all of the software that I ran on it then at reasonably comparable speeds now so long as the software in question has maintained relative same demands on the HW. Simply put, the OS had not bloated, it has not failed, and its age has not impacted the usability of the machine in any ways after 11 going on 12 years.
Keep the OS clean and it will run well, use CCleaner, and keep up on regular OS maintenance.

Leave Windows to deal with required registry items unless you have an issue that needs a change to make something work.
Bullguard, Avast, Norman, AVG, Norton, Avira.
I would avoid all of the above AV programs the @plat lists.
I do respect your take on things man but recommending CCleaner after what happened to it is not good. Especially if you're trying to suggest ways on keeping your system clean. I understand $hit happens, but after what happened with them there is absolutely no way I'd install it without a way to block them from internet access totally (which is what I do with most my programs anyway). I white list things and everything else is blocked internet access. But I'm sure most people don't do that and anyone touching CCleaner with a 10 foot pole while letting it connect outbound is asking for trouble. In the world of PC safety and upkeep, for a program like CCleaner to experience what they experienced is inexcusable, and suggesting it without noting that in it's history for people to at least be aware is irresponsible.
I do have it installed because I'm just so used to it, but like I said no way I'd let it connect outbound.

I don't either, I block it in the firewall and delete all its Tasks in Task Scheduler. It's inactive until I click on the desktop icon. Just being prudent is all. No FUD intended.
It was corrected quickly, the offending version pulled, the new version not having the issue, nor the version before.
This same basic concepts (security cert spoof to gain "legitimate" install and/or the idea of using man in the middle or fake or hijacked delivery) is something even MS, and multiple Big Name companies including Game's Companies and other security companies have had issue with in recent years. More issues in fact, and more recently, and more widely, and more actively abused by attackers.
Unless someone is running the *single versions* (32/64bit respectively) of CCLeaner from 2017, they are not affected. Anyone on an older version, anyone on a newer one, not affected. Worry about the current concerns and turn off auto-updates to the main exe and call it a good day.
The only recent thing CCleaner has had related to maleware being installed was involving a pirate version of CCLeaner Pro and the crack that was being used to steal the software. Thats not something I would say is their fault or anything they should even have to address in the slightest. Thats entirely on the users trying to steal the Pro version.
Mountain outta a mole hill, but to each their own I guess.
And there are other reg cleaners. I just like CCleaner cuz I have used it forever and it allows backups each time that are easily accessible in the event of a problem. I think that last place is where most competitors fail, they either have complicated restore processed or none at all, not ideal with registry edits and all.
Course maybe that view is why there is bankruptcy in the picture :/
