CCleaner found those registry issues:
1)ActiveX/COM Issue InProcServer32\%SystemRoot%\System32\eapa3hst.dll
2)ActiveX/COM Issue InProcServer32\C:\Windows\System32\eapahost.dll
3)ActiveX/COM Issue InProcServer32\%SystemRoot%\System32\eapa3hst.dll
4)ActiveX/COM Issue InProcServer32\%SystemRoot%\System32\eapa3hst.dll
I don't feel safe to delete them since they are dll files. Any help appreciated.

If the file(s) dont exist, it should be safe to delete the registry entry. Just make a backup when CCleaner prompts you to. If I recall, I searched for this a while back and found that the files are related to the Extensible Authentication Protocol for a wireless network.

And I have the exact four as well. I seem to remember that after a fresh XPHSP3 install these were the only issues found (after I had cleaned up a few obviously bad entries). I shall wipe these now. Well, soon.

That's exactly right. These only came up after updating TO WinXP SP3.

They seem to be related to some anti virus program or another, says a quick google search. I'd say tick them and back them up and clean them, if theres a problem just restore them (I think the registry cleaner needs an ignore list, tbh.)
Get the latest Winapp2.ini file!

So long as it was in a simple format without all that Exclude1, Exclude2, etc., stuff so the ignore list could look something like:
HKCU\Software\Some App\Some Settings
HKLM\Software\Some Other App\Some Other Settings
