CCleaner Active Monitoring - what exactly does it do?

Usually I use the portable versions, but decided to install Ccleaner and Defraggler.

What exactly is CC it looking for when 'active monitoring'?

Thanks.

monitoring is explained here; http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/changing-monitoring-settings-ccleaner-professional

with the non-Pro builds, it's function is limited.

OK, thanks.
