Registry keys

My Norton antivirus app on my laptop keeps telling me I have umpteen broken registry keys which it claims could be detrimental to performance. I've no idea what a registry key is and I've not noticed any performance issues. Should I be worried or is Norton just trying to get more money out of me, as I would need to buy a more expensive package in order for this to be addressed.

I run CC Cleaner. It includes registry. It's a free download.

First of all check that the communication is from Norton.
