sorry, but, no it does not....
If something was fixed after doing an uninstall and running CCleaner, then the problem was most likely already fixed after doing just the uninstall.
Not to mention that, as I said earlier, such automated cleaners can cause more damage than you think, in places you wound't even notice it immediatly (especially when talking in regards to the registry).
I don't want to let this end in a flame war, but do you actually know what CCleaner does? And I'm not talking about a feature list or "it cleans this or that", but about what it really does when it displays "cleaning blahblah"...
Such cleaners do mostly general stuff, nothing todo with specific programs but todo with general references and associations in the registry and temporary files on your hard disk. As such, they quite often remove associations which they think are redundant but are in fact still being used. They also very rarely are designed to handle a specific program and all(!) its registry keys or files. In fact, even if they have the ability to handle some specific stuff for a specific program, they usually do not support everything for that program and can not fix everything. And while they attempt to fix something, they will almost always damage other stuff if you let them run on 'automatic'. Letting it run on 'custom' involves knowing what you are doing and knowing what specific keys and/or files are used for.
