This Task Manager substitute looks better than it sometimes performs. Make no mistake, Novin Process Manager 2 looks really good. The multitabbed interface logically separates the extensive information this app tracks. Experienced users will have little trouble finding the proper operation of the many functions, but this isn't a program for new users looking to learn. Some testers found it difficult or impossible to get the function help balloons to display.

This application is designed to replace Windows Task Manager, but it doesn't quite fit that niche. However, it includes many functions not found in the Windows app. Applications, processes, modules, and threads all get their own tabs. During testing we found that it sometimes balked at quickly terminating an application. The Process Menu most closely resembles Task Manager, but includes easily sorted columns and slightly more information. Context-clicking an item in the process list makes it a piece of cake to add the process to a black list, task list, and exclusion list. In addition, a single click on the menu can display more information about the item or open the module's folder.

Novin Process Manager 2 isn't a program anyone will pick up in 5 minutes. However, it operates simply and logically. Any experienced user looking for additional information and control over system processes will want to give this freeware a test.

Very effective tool
Zenbob96May 17, 2009
Pros
Works effectively and has a professional interface.
Cons
Uses a bit of memory when in process. However, it is more thorough and will stop sly processes at their root, which many other similar programs fail to do.
Summary
Highly recommended tool for your war chest of anti-bug programs. For a free program it is outstanding.
hope you've got plenty of ram...

Pros
looks nice & is full of good information
Cons
uses at least 25 megs of ram even while minimized
Summary
this program looks ok and has tons of good information... but it eats up over 25 megs of memory even while minimized!! bwahaha. for a freaking process manager? get real.
Very Useful for memory and process management.
anothersillyprofilenameJuly 23, 2008
Pros
I can see the specfic files loaded into system idle process. I can cut and paste the name and google it to see what the file is and if I can remove it from automaticly running as a service or app. Very useful if you are compfortable with that sort of work. <p> <p>It does not require you to replace your task manager so I suggest you do not and just use for extra information.
Cons
Clicking on columns does not sort. <p>Rough. Typos on menu, etc. <p>Operation is easy but not friendly. Non-standard.
Summary
Excellent
