Product:

Process Explorer

Version: 10.06

Great idea , excellent program

Pros: Extremely lightweight(1.38Mbytes) & useful program :

allows to know processes running , related DLL ,

CPU usage , company name , priority , system information .

Very low RAM usage .

Simple interface & easy to use .

It also allows to set processes priority(including

Windows services that cannot be modified

from Task Manager) & it provides links

to websites for processes info(Google or MSN search) .

Cons: Modifying Windows vital processes processes is

very dangerous (not unfrequent to get "BLUE

SUDDENDEATH SCREEN") , thus specific

system knowledges & big amounts of caution

are required to use it .

Ashampoo AntiSpyWare

Version: 1.10

Deep scan...but little problem

Pros: Excellent scan but quite slow (about 10 minutes or more) , that is reassuring :it will

find most of spyware existing . Very high CPU & RAM usage to scan drivers folder

& all subfolders , i think Ashampoo team has to work hard to fix 100% CPU usage problem .

Despite this problem while scanning drives & subfolders , it use not so much RAM for the rest

of the scan . Many features...even too much :

-Additional tools(Check of runnin' process-Internet cleaner(very useful)-

File wiper(Permanent delete)-Ip Spam blocker

-Scanning options(full-reg-memory-selected areas-sigle folders)

-Many languagues & additional skins

-Good updates service

-Search for unknown threats (excellent idea but seems not too efficient)

Finally has pretty bright interface .

It's been projected to be a TOP SOFTWARE &...no doubts it is

but with few changes it would be frighten even leader

software houses .

Cons: This application needs , at least , 512Mbytes RAM system to work well ; that is because of excellent engine performing really deep scan .
