Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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: Security Task Manager 1.7d
"Simply effective...to the point!"
Pros: Very powerful and yet understandable at first sight. After having tried with many better known programs this got rid of an annoying trojan.
Cons: So fa nothing...

Version: Security Task Manager 1.7d
"Effectively found hidden processes"
Pros: located 2 hidden processes and effectively terminated them, just as it claims it does. easy to install and use. program itself claims nothing of the 30 day limit, hopefully it will actually still function after 30 days...
Cons: no major flaws. typical minor shareware annoyances

Version: Security Task Manager 1.7d
"I had no problems resetting my password!"
Pros: It did not take long and I reset my password without a problem.
Cons: The confirmation (email with link was hyperextended--scrolled left to right to read),email was wide, but simply copying the link+ and putting it in the browser worked.
