at first I thought this was going to cover that many medical devices ran older exploitable windows (I've encountered devices with winCE and NT4 built into them, and servers that we were told "don't run windows updates on as they'll break the application)
As more a more med devices are connected to the web exploits will jump to those devices, and could really cause havoc
ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

They really need to investigate this more, and I wonder if anyone has died from it.
