Every time I run CCleaner on the Registry other than the same day, some version of Wow64 shows up. I have scanned for viruses and malware using Norton Security Suite, Norton Power Erasure, Microsoft Malicious Software Tool, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot - Search & Destroy 2, and have additional protection with Spyware Blaster and found nothing. Yet some version of Wow64 always reappears after a CCleaner scan and deletion of the file. I tried to look it up on Goggle and get, "no document found". Are these versions a virus?

A moderator from the CCleaner forum suggested I run these files on this site that has many scanners for malware and viruses but there was nothing:

On the vmwrba.dll to my limited knowledge, I do not have any virtual PC software. I searched and discovered a forum that had the question: ’”How can I find out what program installed using a specific DLL file?”, and one answered:
“Process Monitor can do this for you. Just filter by the DLL's name and when a program tries to load it there will come an entry, which mentions which process is looking for and/or accessing the DLL you mentioned.
You should also try to do a boot log (enable boot logging in the menu, then reboot and open process monitor again) which is necessary to catch programs and services that load it upon boot.”

Since this SysWow64 file would reappear with a different DLL after scanning the registry once a week for the last three weeks, I searched for a tool that would show DLLs on my system to see if the ones I deleted were on the list. Then, I guess, I could determine if Windows 7 was regenerating them and therefore needed and appropriate

Why I am bothering with this because I read on Google search that a virus would lurk in the SysWow64 folder and do damage to the system but I did not see any problem following their instruction:
