Better than Task Manager

Usually we use Windows' stock Task Manager to look at the processes running on Windows. And for Win7 user, you can also open Resource Monitor (from Performance tab on Task Manager) to see additional stuffs such as disk access by which software and network utilization on another windows. What I going to introduce is a software that have everything in one windows with much more information for you to check out. Read more after the jump......


Introducing System Explorer.

As you can see from the picture above, beside the tasks/applications/processes/services/perfomance/networking that can be display by the Windows' stock Task Manager, there are additional stuffs can be display in the same windows:

• Modules
  
• Drivers
  
• Connections (which apps that are accessing the network at the moment)
  
• Startups (programs that being executed during start up)
  
• It even display the addons installed on your IE, without open up IE
  
• DLLs that connected to Explorer.exe
  
• Uninstaller and it can point you to the registry where the installed program
  
• History of which process running with what PID numbers, nice!
  
• Backup function by creating snapshot of files or registry or both.
  

When minimizing it, it will shrink to notification area and show CPU, memory and power information whenever you point the mouse to the icon.

When will McAfee going to fix FrameworkService.exe?

If you are using McAfee antivirus, you will notice the CPU being running hot because of a process called "FrameworkService.exe" which use up all the CPU power. This is known bug from McAfee, even though McAfee said it should already fix it for "McAfee Agent 4.5 Patch 1 Hotfix 620018 for Windows or later", but how about corporate users which still waiting for their ever slow IT guys to update the McAfee for their computer/laptop?

To make things worse, you might have a presentation to do but the battery is running low and this frameworkservice.exe wouldn't quit and keep on running with high CPU.

Even though it says it is fix for newer version, some people still notice the problem didn't goes away.

McAfee, when you gonna fix this forever?
