Cleaner with computer monitoring

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement a method for increasing the processing speed of a computer, said increasing the processing speed comprising:

• monitoring, by a cleaning module executed by a processor of a computer, characteristics of the computer including at least one of:
• a size of file storage space saved by cleaning one or more files stored in a memory, and
• a number of registry entries stored in a registry of the computer;
• detecting, by the cleaning module, an occurrence of pre-defined criteria including at least one of:
• whether the size of file storage space saved by cleaning the one or more files stored in the memory exceeds a first pre-defined threshold, and
• whether the number of registry entries exceeds a second pre-defined threshold;
• and
• performing, based on said detecting by the cleaning module, pre-defined actions on the computer including at least one of:
• cleaning the one or more files including deleting at least one file from the memory, or removing data from at least one file stored in the memory, and
• cleaning the registry including deleting at least one registry entry from the registry, or removing data from at least one registry entry stored in the registry.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory storing a cleaning module for increasing the processing speed of the apparatus;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the cleaning module stored in the memory, the processor being further configured, when executing the cleaning module stored in the memory, to:
• monitor characteristics including at least one of:
• a size of file storage space saved by cleaning one or more files stored in a memory, and
• a number of registry entries stored in a registry;
• detect an occurrence of pre-defined criteria including at least one of:
• whether the size of file storage space saved by cleaning the one or more files stored in the memory exceeds a first pre-defined threshold, and
• whether the number of registry entries exceeds a second pre-defined threshold;
• and
• perform, based on said detecting, pre-defined actions including at least one of:
• cleaning the one or more files including deleting at least one file, or removing data from at least one file, and
• cleaning the registry including deleting at least one registry entry from the registry, or removing data from at least one registry entry stored in the registry.
