When CCleaner analyzes my files it always liste my AVG and SPYBOT utility files to be deleted and I have not had any problems. My question is SHOULD these files be deleted each time? My virusware and spyware seem to run their scan much more quickly now but I was worried it was because of something missing that should be there like the utility files?

You can always untick the cleaners for anti-malware software, which is what I do myself because the logs can be something very important to look at later on. The logs are especially important to keep if the computer is shared, and most anti-malware software have the ability to let you manually delete the logs from within them.
Complexity of incoherent design.

Thank you for your quick response. I went ahead and unticked my malware files from being deleted.
