The best way to keep your PC running properly, and safe from
malware, is to know exactly what programs, processes, startup
programs, and more are running. That’s exactly what this program
does–and even more. Not only does it identify all that, but it
will also use the VirusTotal.com malware-checking site to see
whether any are malevolent, will provide details about each via the
Processlibrary.com Web site or Google, and give you other
information about each as well.
That’s just for starters. You’ll also be able to view performance graphs for your PC, see all the programs that run on startup, check IE add-ins, see what drivers are in use, and plenty more–it can’t all be listed here. SystemExplorer is a remarkable piece of work, and given that it’s free, it’s more remarkable, still.
