Want to know exactly what's running on your PC? Check out the new version of processlibrary.com.
added on 30th December 2010
Uniblue's Processlibrary.com was first launched in 2004, and has become the definitive resource on the web for process-related information. You may be asking, "What are processes?". Well, in the recesses of your computer, a number of processes run silently in the background. Some are necessary in order to run the programs on your PC, others hog system resources, which can lead to a slow computer. Some other processes may harbor spyware and Trojans - ultimately leading to PC damage. ProcessLibrary is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to know the exact purpose of every single process. By clicking on Ctrl-Alt-Delete to go to Windows Task Manager and then selecting the Processes tab, you will see a list of processes running on your PC. Processlibrary.com will give you information on each, what it does, what it's associated with and if it's a threat or resource hog.
Over the past few years, processlibrary.com has become the most comprehensive database of processes and .dlls available, and has featured in the media worldwide. Technology journalists often refer to the site as a source of information and PCMag.com recognised the site in its list of "Top 100 Classic Websites" and said "Processlibrary.com gives PC users valuable information, so that unnecessary, resource-heavy or even risky processes can be eliminated from a PC, potentially improving its performance."
The website has a downloadable tool available, ProcessQuickLink; this is a handy, free plugin for Task Manager, and it gives you process info in just one click. Popular US radio host and journalist, Kim Komando featured Processlibrary.com and ProcessQuickLink and said, "ProcessQuickLink creates an icon next to each process in Windows Task Manager. Click the icon next to the process about which you’d like to know more. ProcessQuickLink will direct you to a Web site with information about that process. A description including general, removal and security information will be displayed. Now you will know what processes are required by your PC. And you can find out which ones can or should be stopped!"
We have just updated the site with a fresh new look, better information and more processes. To visit the site, go to http://www.processlibrary.com
