Process Explorer beats the pants off the Task Manager

Process Explorer
Did you know the Windows Task Manager doesn't show you the whole picture of system processes running on your machine? Of course you did, but finding an app that will give you this info on a silver platter and leave a mint on your pillow is a different story. That is presumably why you're smart enough to read Download Squad. Its because we bring you the good stuff to so this kind of thing, process exploring, baby. If you want detailed process info and the ability to kill processes to boot, go download Process Explorer from SysInternals (now Microsoft owned). Process Explorer goes quite good with Killbox, and works great for witch-hunting a notorious virus or spyware in the thickness of the dark jungle. Creepy.
