Uniblue ProcessScanner

The premise is fairly straightforward: Uniblue ProcessScanner scans your computer and lists all the various processes that are running. The software is a free download from www.processlibrary.com and installs with just a few clicks through a simple setup wizard. When you launched the program, it will automatically ask you if I wanted to scan for processes. The scan itself took less than 30 seconds.

The ProcessScanner will inform you the file name, whether the process was a security threat, and what program it was associated with. When you clicked a file name, you will be greeted by a detailed set of results for that particular file, including a description of what exactly the file was and what you might do with it. It also gave details such as the file path, how large the file size was, and how much memory it was using.

The user interface, which opens in a browser window, is clean and intuitively easy to navigate. You can quickly sort through the scan results by simply clicking one of four tabs: Security, Network, Performance, or Autostart.

ProcessScanner will give suggestion such as “Scan For Errors” for each line item. However, when you click the link, you’re redirected to a page on Uniblue’s Web site where you can download more software. The above process repeated itself with yet another piece of “free” software from the Uniblue Web site.

Still, ProcessScanner worked fast and gave you all the information you need on all your PC’s processes. The software sometimes will detect a Trojan horse, which enable you to eliminate easily.
