Auslogics releases free, portable task manager alternative
There are plenty of good reasons to keep a good Task Manager alternative on your flash drive -- like when some nasty malware has disabled access to Windows' native one. We've mentioned some options before on DownloadSquad, and now there's a new one to add to the mix.
Auslogics has just released a free, fully portable app that will only take up a scant 1.7Mb of space on your drive. ATM provides information about applications, processes, services, and open files. Apart from displaying processor and ram usage, disk and internet throughput, the context menu provides quick access to plenty of task-related kung fu.
For starters, there's the option to look up a process or service on Auslogics' online FileInspect. The service provides helpful information like who the developer is, where the file ought to be located, its default attributes, and user comments about the file.
You can also end a process or temporarily freeze it, adjust CPU affinity and priority, and locate the file on your hard drive. ATM's tools menu also provides quick access to important Windows screens like services, computer management, performance monitor, and control panel.
Grab the free download of Auslogics Task Manager and sock it away on your flash drive. It's well worth keeping around just in case.

Works great, but am I the only one who sees the irony in the above screenshot? Auslogics Task Manager portable does not know if austaskmanagerportable.exe is a trustworthy process?

Sometimes we all don't recognize ourselves or what we are doing....
But.....
Free is Good

Cool, and handy to have for portable use, but doesn't appear to be any reason to replace Process Explorer with this.

Attention! ATM's Installer offers a "toolbar" from Ask.com during install. Remember to uncheck all options in that screen.
Despite this detail, it's a nice software.

Indeed, Rodrigo, and thanks for the head's up - that is, in fact, why I pointed people to the portable version. Why install if you don't have to? ;)

Yes, portable version makes sense. But I see some options that makes its installing a good deal. For example, the one that says if a process is reliable or not is great for beginners.
