Very good software, especially for the high end systems, like video editing / audio processing systems where you can tweak per core basis. Also works fine with older PCs dual-core processors to reduce micro-lags. Some security softwares, especially Norton and its advanced tamper protection does not like Process Lasso at all. If some program is even "looking" Norton processes, it shows a warning. Just make an exclusion vise versa. I don't use Norton anymore, maybe JC hardcoded/excluded those Norton processes already. Highly recommended for high end production systems and servers to make your workflow faster and more productive. And yes, i'm using paid family license for PL.
