Identify Windows Processes
Looking at the process list in Windows is a trip down confusion lane. You might recognize some of them by filename, but in most cases you won't. In such a case, how would you know if the process is legitimate or some spyware program running in the background? Its easy - search the internet. And while you can go and Google it, I have a site for you -
www.processlibrary.com.
The site is published by Uniblue Systems, the people behind WinTasks Professional. Do a search for the process name or a DLL and you will get a full description (in English) of what the process is and any potential security risk. Can be quite useful, and Uniblue is in the business, so they keep it pretty up to date.
If you want this information right on your PC, check out WinTasks 5. It will help you identify your Windows processes, but also offer you fine-tuned control over them, and hence your whole PC.
