Task Killer can quickly terminate frozen processes

Overview:

This process manager allows you to quickly terminate applications, processes, windows, to start/stop Windows services and etc. ie. you may "kill" a frozen (hanged up) application, process or service by clicking on the windows taskbar's Task Killer icon and choosing application (process) from the menu list. You will forget clumsy key combination Ctrl-Alt-Del and standard Task Manager window forever!


Features:

• Very fast and neat way to unload ("kill") freezed ("hanged") applications (tasks), processes or services. Shows tasks, windows and(or) services in popup menu.
• "Smart Kill" mode - is more safe mode to kill program than standard windows Task Manager.
• Applications memory usage control.
• Flexible settings.
• Global hotkeys.
• User friendly interface.
• Very low process usage and memory usage.
• Freeware!

Review:

Task Killer is a lightweight program for terminating processes. Task Killer will list of all of the currently running processes and will give you the choice to terminate them. You gotta spend special attention to red processes, this processes are either frozen or unresponding and therefore they should be terminated. Of course this would be hard to do if you are running a full screen application like a game but thankfully Task Killer can be called upon using hotkeys making possible terminating programs that won't let you access the Windows taskbar. Task Killer used between 1 to 7 MB in my system which is pretty awesome considering that it could save you a reboot in a worst case scenario when the Task Manager just won't work. I conclusion Task Killer is a pretty good program if you keep having programs being frozen, however i would wish that Task Killer would have the ability of auto removing system processes from being listed without having to manually selecting them into the "excluded aplications" option. Also it would be awesome if it could automatically terminate frozen processes. But still, this is an excellent program by my standards. Available for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
