Freeware Descriptions:

Process Lasso improves system performance, responsiveness, 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 capabilities 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 3.46.1:

  • Fix.GUI: Fixed issue when governor installed as a service, launching the GUI can sometimes result in redundant instance(s) of the governor launched as a normal process.
  • Fix.GUI: Fixed issue where Process Lasso would exit after load during system startup when user had enabled ‘Exit GUI on window close’.
  • Fix.GUI: Fixed sort of process creation time in listview.
  • Fix.GUI: Fixed sort of log entry times in actions listview.
  • Fix.InstallHelper: Warning message about Pro only features now shown in localized language.

  • Removal.Installer: Removed ‘uninstall’ shortcut from start menu folder. User should uninstall from Add/Remove Programs, to ensure administrative run mode.
  • Change.Installer: Don’t try to UAC self-elevate during uninstall, instead force user to run (or re-run) uninstaller with admin rights.
  • [.1]Change.Localization: Updated Russian translation.
  • [.1]Fix.Localization: Improperly converted (by NSIS) Japanese characters in installer section names removed pending proper fix.
  • [.1]Fix.GUI: Fixed slight inaccuracy in new time sort, could result in new log entries not moving to top of list.
