CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Ever wonder if your PC is keeping secrets from you? Wonder no more. The freeware utility What's Running reveals all your system's active processes, services, drivers, and connections.
It's like Windows Task Manager, except far more informative. The cramped multipane interface is very hard to read, but even it has its good points: it lists processes in a parent-child hierarchy, not a bad way to accidentally spot malware. It also lets you choose which columns of information to display, and it makes stopping or prioritizing processes as simple as a mouse click--a right-click, to be precise. It even lets you control which programs launch at start-up.
Looks aside, What's Running ought to appeal to system administrators, support specialists, and tech-savvy home users who want to know precisely what their computer is up to.

Version: What's Running 1.0
"Shows "What's Running" in great detail"
Summary: A great informational program - free for non-commercial use. I was quite surprised at what WAS running. An excellent tool to help determine what is going on in your system.
This is definately NOT Task Manager! -

Version: What's Running 1.0
Summary: This tool is great! Beeing able to cross-reference between processes, loaded dll's, services and IP-connections are functions totally lacking from the OS and Task Manager, but with this tools it's a no-brainer!

Version: What's Running 1.0
"Spend that $25.00 on a common sense course"
Summary: Why pay for this when it doesn't do ANYTHING that good old Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't do in 2000/XP- this would be worthwhile in earlier versions (98 especially) so the fact it doesnt support these is commercial suicide in my view
