Winpatrol - but that is more of a system protector than Anvir which seems like an souped up Task Manager

Best of the freeware- http://ssupdater.b1.jcink.com/index.php?showforum=55

System Explorer is my favorite, Process Hacker is good for killing processes that others can't kill.

Thanks.;D

System Explorer (http://systemexplorer.net/downloadi.php), Process Hacker (http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/), and Yet Another (remote) Process Monitor (http://sourceforge.net/projects/yaprocmon/files/) are the Best.

Process Hacker is my personal favorite and it goes on every one of my computers ASAP.

Do you use the plugins? I understand they need the PH's driver to be enabled. Is this correct?

I wasnt aware it had plugins. Im still using v1.11 because its the latest version with an installer.

The latest version 2.12 has an installer, I just installed it.

Get it here- http://sourceforge.net/projects/processhacker/files/processhacker2/processhacker-2.12-setup.exe/download

The plugins come in the installer package installed by default, of coarse you can select not to install some if you don't want them.

Thanks.;D

Doesnt allow me to replace the MS Task Manager on Win 7 x64 like v2.11 did.

Did you go the "Hacker" menu - select "options" - "Advanced" tab and check "Replace Task Manager with Process Hacker"?

It worked fine for me on Win7 (32-bit).

Also a little note, if you decide to install all of the plugins, they will be disabled by default.
To enable them: go the "Hacker" menu - select "options" - "General" - check "Enable plugins" then restart Process Hacker.

Thanks.;D

Yes I did. Notice how I said Win 7 x64. The option box for me is greyed out and disabled.

It must be a bug in 64-bit version.

Report it to them in their forums- http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/forums/

Good day.:)

No bug. It was Dr.Web. Dr.Web has an option to protect critical system files and I had that option enabled. As soon as I disabled it I was able to configure Process Hacker v2.2 and the greyed out box was checkable again.
