Should I delete the Registry Entries & Folders that MalwareBytes found in Full Scan?

Hi Friends!
I ran a Full Scan with MalwareBytes yesterday, & while it did NOT find any malware, it did list many Registry Entries & 2 Folders. Should I delete what was found? Here's the list:

Re: Should I delete the Registry Entries & Folders that MalwareBytes found in Full Sc

Hi chasling!
Thanks for your response. The "Ghostery IE" that's mentioned is something I downloaded & because it's an EXCELLENT add-on that prevents hundreds of trackers from following a users browsing habits. (You can checkout their site if you like...www.ghostery.com...so you can see what it does. I use it on my default browser, Firefox 23.0.1 and IE 10.0.9200.16660. I hate being followed in "real life" & when on-line. Is having it installed a real problem? What do the MalwareBytes entries mean? Would leaving "Ghostery" installed be wrong; it was NOT called "malware". Why does MalwareBytes single it out?
Thanks for explaining why I need to get rid of an add-on I really like!!
