• Usefull when not knowing better

  mulderofxJune 1, 2008

  Pros

  Usefull interface, easy to use

  Cons

  Several errormessages on startup. No quick resolve like downloading the database. The combination CCleaner, Systemmanager and internet are more usefull resources to kill unwanted startup files and running processes

• Checks running processes for security threats.

  Zane77January 2, 2008

  Pros

  Program Checker shows and checks the security of all running processes for spyware, viruses, and adware. It will show processes as being trusted and authenticated with no threat level. <p>It will also show processes as being unrecognized on an unreconized process click more infomation. And Program Checker will search for the process and sometimes it will find the process. Sometimes it will not find the process, but Program Checker provides a Google search to search the process to get more information. And it shows the name, CPU usage, memory usage, and loaded modules of all running processes.

  Cons

• It is useful in some respects, but is it accurate?

  ZalchoMarch 20, 2007

  Pros

  Great concept and looks very promising if a few things are fixed/updated(?). PROS: (1) Was able to see additional information that was helpful in determining what is running and locating the EXE files on my machine, (2) very easy to install, (3) can check the filename with an online DB provided by Zenturi, (4) provides much more info than the Task Manager found under XP, and (5) can submit information to Zenturi (for their review and update?).

  Cons

  There seem to be a few drawbacks. From my past experience in auditing, I selected some items that Zenturi did not recognize but should be in somewhat common use (in my humble opinion being a newbie and all). CONS: (1) Online Zenturi DB did not have any information on WLSERVICE (Linksys Wireless), LPRCSRV (Logitech Webcam), or APPSVC32 (Symantec), (2) DB showed only the latest Vista version of HKCMD as being trusted and not XP, and (3) DB did not show the latest version of YMSGR (Yahoo Messenger). This bascially means 43 applications out of 60 running on my machine are not recognized. <p> <p>I will keep Program Checker on my machine due to the additional information it provides, but will not have it as a part of start up - more like a research tool on an "as-needed" basis. <p> <p>Hey - if anything changes during my usage, hope I can update this ranking or add a new commnet...take care all

• Doesn't recognize several legitimate programs.

  IrobotbenderSeptember 16, 2006

  Pros

  Did not recognize several processes such as Spyware Dr, several processes of ZA, or Firefox. Gives more information & the ability to Google a process in question easier than Alt Ctrl Delete.

  Cons

  The lack of usable information about a non Microsoft process.

• This program is awesome!

  salgeriSeptember 1, 2005

  Pros

  When I found ProgramChecker I was psyched! It shows every program that is running on my PC. I installed it on every computer I own, and the one at work :) Every time a friend asks for help with their computer, the first thing I do is install ProgramChecker to see what is running on the computer. I can easily see which programs are "trusted" or "unrecognized". Great job Zenturi!

• It's amazing what you get for free these days

  toml1968August 31, 2005

  Pros

  Being an experienced computer geek I am amazed at the fact that you can get a program like this for free. Not to long ago I payed 59.00 for a similar product which I had to toss. Tiis product is useful for getting a peak inside your running programs.

  Cons

  For free it's hard to complain, but you asked. Would like some real time trapping of programs.
