DEMYSTIFY WINDOWS PROCESSES Have you ever wanted to know what’s going on in your computer, why is it running so slow and whether you need to worry about it all? A process explorer and security tool from AnVir Software demystifies processes running on your computer, assigning security ratings to them. May 12, 2008 – AnVir Software today announces AnVir Task Manager Pro 5.1, a process explorer and security tool for Windows. The program displays detailed information about all running processes, such as applications, DLLs, BHOs and services, providing file name, directory path, security risk rating, description, start time, CPU usage, embedded hidden functions, such as keyboard monitoring, browser manipulation and process type, including visible window, systray program, startup service. Using its updatable database of over 70.000 startup programs and services, it detects spyware, adware, malware, keyloggers and other background processes that cannot be authenticated by the Windows task manager. Today there’s so much bad stuff out there just waiting to find your computer and all your passwords, credit card numbers and the like, that having only a firewall and antivirus is like venturing out into the jungle with just a can of insect repellent. Antivirus tools need frequent updates to work effectively and they cannot stop a piece of spyware that they haven’t seen before. Your computer always suffers a period of vulnerability between the time when a new infection hits the internet and the time when the antivirus definition to clean it is released. With AnVir Task Manager monitoring every process running on your computer, you can feel safe at all times. Its defensive list now contains over 70.000 descriptions of bad things but even without it, if you see a process that doesn’t identify itself and doesn’t seem to serve a purpose, it’s most likely the time to make a kill. See what’s going on under the hood and clean infections – Right out of the box, AnVir Task Manager does a pretty good job of highlighting harmful or suspicious processes with red and yellow colors. At this point, you can select a process and see its description, company name, command line information, DLLs that the program uses, hard-drive location of every program. If there’s no description or it leaves you scratching your head, you can dig a little deeper and check the process against Virus Total’s antivirus database. Once you are sure the process is harmful, you can easily remove it with a click. Enhance Windows, speed up system boot – AnVir Task Manager Pro is not all about hunting down malware. As a multipurpose tool, it offers some interesting system enhancements, such as “Delayed Startup” that lets you set up any startup item to run one or more minutes later after Windows startup. This lets you begin using the computer without waiting for Windows to load all startup applications. The program also makes it possible to minimize selected application windows to the tray to save the taskbar space from clutter, pin windows always on top. It also puts several icons to the tray that will show current usage and temperature of the hard drives, speed of data transfer over the network, use of physical memory, and amount of CPU resources that are currently used.
