Freeware Descriptions:
Process Hacker is a tool for viewing and manipulating processes and their threads, modules and memory. It can also search through process memory:
Here is complete features (taken from authors site):
- for a sequence of bytes,
- using regular expressions,
- for strings, or
- for heap blocks
It loads symbols from various libraries automatically and uses them when displaying the call stacks of threads (just like Process Explorer). It also has a disassembler derived from OllyDbg´s which can be accessed when viewing PE files´ exports.
System Requirements:
- .NET Framework 2.0
- Microsoft Windows XP or above
- 1GB or more of total RAM if you plan on searching or editing memory
- 2 CPUs (physical or multi-core), if you plan on searching memory

- KProcessHacker is now enabled by default
- KProcessHacker now supports multiple clients at one time
- Process termination now uses KProcessHacker
- Process Hacker can now use KProcessHacker under a limited user account if it is loaded, giving it full admin-like permissions to processes
- Process Hacker no longer requires UAC elevation - instead, there are two extra menu items, “Run As Administrator…” and “Show Details for All Processes”. It also automatically prompts for elevation for specific tasks.
- “Run” function
- “Restart” function
- “Set Token” function for Windows XP
- “Verify File Signature” function
- “Re-analyze” function
- Around 50% reduction in CPU usage
- Specific highlighting can be enabled/disabled
- CSR Processes tool - displays hidden processes (this does not detect Hacker Defender but does detect simple kernel-mode rootkits)
- Processes list in the notification icon menu, for quick actions on processes
- Options window has a detailed description for each setting
- Process window has descriptions for each field
- File processing (signature verification, checks for packed images) is now asynchronous. This means that there are no more delays when starting certain programs.
- Notification icon looks better and shows both user and kernel time
- GDI and USER handle counts
- Terminator’s TT2 test is more effective now
FIXED:
- Bug #2553406 - “COMException: Class not registered”
- Bug #2601383 - “Threads’ column’s width is not remembered.”
- Bug #2612242 - “CPU usage > 100%”
- Bug #2615591 - “Bug with Show one graph per cpu?”
- Limited user account weirdness
- No longer deletes the KProcessHacker service if it’s already started
- Memory searching now uses KProcessHacker if possible
- Incorrect labeling of process files which can’t be read (due to permissions) as packed
- Insane memory usage on Windows XP
- Now uses the proper method of detecting .NET processes
- System Information now runs on a separate thread
- Disables “Show one graph per CPU” in System Information if there is only one CPU
- Process tree weirdness for users with limited privileges
- CPU usage is now correctly displayed in graphs - K+U are not overlayed anymore
- “Require signatures for” names are now forced to be lower-case
- “Hide handles with no name” is now unique to each process window - changing it in one window does not affect others
- Dialog/input boxes are now more consistent
- Very old bug where the refresh interval isn’t applied at startup
- Displays-2-more-processes-than-actual-number bug
- System Information screwing up when the user tries to open it when it’s already open
- “a hour” -> “an hour”, “yesterday ago” -> “a day ago”
- Handle leaks in the process window, thread window, handle list and process updater
- GDI+ handle leaks in the icon menu
- PH window is permanently offscreen if it is hidden when minimized
