This handy utility enhances the functionality of Windows' Task Manager by warning you about potential system threats.
Upon launch, Security Task Manager automatically scans your PC to find all running programs. It then displays information about each application in a sortable list, including name, CPU usage, size, manufacturer, and risk factor. Highlighting each entry gives you more detailed data on running processes, including a description of what it does and how much of a threat it poses to your system. If Security Task Manager finds a potentially malevolent program, you can remove or quarantine it.
Especially handy is the feature that automatically searches Google for information about a specific program with a single click. Though it doesn't offer a wide range of features, this program will be useful to those looking for an extra layer of system protection.
Publisher's description
From A. & M. Neuber :Security Task Manager displays detailed information about all running processes (applications, DLLs, BHOs, and services). For each process, it improves on Windows Task Manager, providing a security risk rating, a process description, file path, CPU usage graph, start time, embedded hidden functions (for example keyboard monitoring, autostart entry, and browser supervision or manipulation), and process type, such as visible window, systray program, DLL, and IE plug-in. The security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware, a Trojan, or keylogger. It also deletes traces of your Internet and computer activity, prevents keyboard input monitoring, and warns you when the registry is changed. This process viewer also recognizes stealth processes and virtual driver software hidden from the Windows Task Manager.
Version 1.7 supports IE7, Asian languages like Japanese and Korean, it comes with a clearer Remove dialog.

Version: Security Task Manager 1.7
"Very thorough, good application."
Pros: The program is good because it scans all your progams running and looks for harmful programs.
Cons: This program is VERY THOROUGH and scans EVERYTHING, good for a serious infestation, but you sometimes get boged down in all of the processes.

Version: Security Task Manager 1.7
Pros: I downloaded StopZilla and installed it. I did not like the program and uninstalled it which did not uninstall cleanly. StopZilla left a file szkg on my system that caused a boot error. I worked on it for hours to try and delete the offending szkg file. I called StopZilla and they were no help at all. I tried Security Task Manager and it work great. Security Task Manager was able to remove the offending szkg file and return my server to its orginal condition.
Cons: There are no Cons about this product, It worked great. Thank You A&M Neuber for making a software program that really works.
