What's Running (Program/Utility)

Softball · Post by **Softball** » 24 Jan 2007, 01:45

I was reading through my monthly "PC" Magazine and they mentioned this nifty little utility for the PC. It's called "What's Running", it's similar to the Windows Task Manager, but shows a lot more indepth info. You can right click on anything in a list and it will search the web and give you more info on it. You can see just about EVERYTHING that is system related with this program. Check it out, it's a small DL (1-2MB).

If you see something like browserhighjack.exe running under tasks, that's probably a bad thing right?

I looked that up, apparently that program gets installed on your pc when you look at some very smutty sites. PanzerMeyer what have you been looking at

Here's another goody that you can replace windows default task manager with that breaks everything down that is running on your pc.
Its called Process Explorer.

It was actually a joke. I think browserhighjack.exe shows up as spyware if you do a spyware scan. It does not show up under the Windows Task Manager.
