Managing a Windows application can be a real pain if there are un-attended or hard to remove processes present. Process Hacker is a tool for viewing and manipulating processes and their threads, modules, memory and handles, and viewing and editing services. A popular use of this tool is to find traces of viruses in memory – It can search through process memory and find hidden services and threads or other malware usually left behind/ in use by viruses and Trojans. Once detected, these stubborn processed can easily be removed or manipulated using Process Hacker.
A new version of process hacker, v1.3.7.0, was released on the 23rd of April. The new build features many bugfixes, performance improvements and some new features. You can all download and give it a shot because the software is free of charge and pretty small in file size.
