Cleaning a disk, defragmenting a drive, and cleaning the registry are not considered optimizing?

>what does listing all running processes to query them have to do with removing junk files Well, these process information websites tell you if a process is critical to the application/computer running, and can inform you whether a startup process can be disabled, for one. But aside, generally knowing what a process does informs the user about how to optimize their computer running.

> Acting as a task manager Thats not what I am suggesting. I am suggesting something that task manager does not do, verifying the running processes are valid. Then one could "clean" up those bad processes (or even just unnecessary ones)

It would be nice if CCleaner could lookup (even on Google, or www.processlibrary.com) all active processes that can be seen in the Task Manager and present a list of them, with their descriptions, and a recommendation of which may be malware or viruses.
