Folks, I know this got a favorable rating, but do yourself a favor and steer clear of this stuff. I know that we can't really trust any antispyware vendor as far as we can throw them (except the free ones), but progs like WinTasks and it's associated frontends (this one being one of them; the pop-up ads that look like system warning messages being another) are not worth the effort. If they spent their time writing quality apps rather than working on ways to trick people into downloading and paying for crappy ones, they'd be worth a second glance. My advice: If you don't recognize a process name, put it into Google. If you want a front-end app to search your process list, try ProcessExplorer from SysInternals (http://www.sysinternals.com). It'll do virtually the same thing, and it's free.
