Almost all Windows users had to use the standard Task manager. It displays not only programs running on the computer, but also processes that are not visible among the running applications. During the configuration or treatment of the computer from viruses, it is necessary to know where this or that program that started the process is located, its manufacturer, from which module it was launched. Of course, you can use the standard search, but this is inconvenient, especially since some viruses specifically change the names of their processes so that they cannot be detected. Process Explorer will help you in this situation.
The main window of the program displays the running processes, their ID, processor time, description, and vendor name. By selecting any process, you can see where it is located, which modules it uses, open files and folders, registry keys, procedures, and many other parameters. In addition, it is possible to manage processes: kill a process or its tree, restart, change priority, view properties. The function of searching for processes by the DLL used, the name or the open window, the indicator of system resources will not be superfluous.
If you want to always know which processes are running on your system, then Process Explorer will become an indispensable assistant. At the time of writing, the latest version of Process Explorer is v11.02, which implements full support for Vista.
