Freeware Descriptions:
Process Lasso improves system performance, responsivenss, and stability in high load situations. It watches for processes consuming too much of the CPU and automatically restrains them to improve system responsiveness. It can also automatically terminate undesired processes, apply default priorities to an application each time it is run, or log all processes launched. It is not a task manager replacement, but does have task manager like capabilties only as a compliment to its core functions.
Here is complete features (taken from authors site):
Known errata in Beta Series: Vista /w UAC: Windows Defender will stop Process Lasso and Process Governor from starting at user login when PL is configured to ’show all processes’ (administrative rights).
What’s New in version 3.38:
- Change.Core: By default each instance of the governor now only manages processes in its own user context, unless it is running as a service. This helps clarify operation and improve efficiency in XP and non-UAC Vista multi-user environments.
- Addition.Core: Added new log entry at startup to indicate which user’s processes are being managed by current instance.
- Addition.GUI: Added new process ‘rules’ column, to give a quick depiction of matching rules (default priority, default affinity, etc..).
- Addition.GUI: Added ‘No default affinity’ process context menu item.
- Addition.INI: Added boolean key ‘ManageOnlyCurrentUser’.
- Fix.GUI: Fixed issue where main window wouldn’t unminimize upon double click of systray icon, in cases where it had previously been minimized by the user.
- Fix.InstallHelper: Fixed failure to install service as a domain user.
