There are times when the standard process manager which Windows provides just doesn't cut it. Process Hacker is a tool designed to help people who want to know everything that goes on in the background of their Windows operating system.

Furthermore, it can also be very useful in tracking and shutting down various malware that might have infected your PC.

I have so many nice things to say about Process Hacker that I actually can't believe it's an open source program. This application will not only give you complete information about your processes but also allow you to perform a lot of functions such as terminate, suspend, resume, debug, change affinity, modify priority etc. Programs of this kind, which offer so many possibilities, aren't that common.

Another feature which I appreciated was the fact that it can display useful information like CPU usage, disk usage history or network history in your system tray. Furthermore, it provides graphs which will help you get an insight into how your computer is currently running.

As a general conclusion, I think that Process Hacker is a great tool and I would recommend it to everyone in need of such a program. It works perfectly, you don't have to pay for it and you can even change its source code to customize it to your personal needs. So, as far as I'm concerned, this application is the one you must have.
