Process manager 2 Lite is among other a process viewer which provides more information than the classic Windows's Task Manager. With Process manager
2 Lite, you can show detailed information on process like its icon, dependencies, handles and threads.
Process Manager 2 Lite is
also an enhanced service manager like the windows original Services Viewer. It shows the running service PID and permits you to show service's
process.
The Activity Log will give you an advanced knowledge of your system background activity. It show you when process
starting and, if the process is a windows service, some information about it.

24.11.2007Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant
Gartner Inc. has positioned Microsoft Corp., a leading provider of business process management (BPM) software, in the Leaders quadrant in its 2007
Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis (BPA) Tools, 2H07-1H08 report.1 The report evaluates services and products that include Microsoft®
Office Visio® 2007.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for BPA Tools examines how business process analysis tools continue to grow in
importance as business managers, process architects and process analysts seek to better capture, understand, streamline and automate their business
processes. Gartner also underscored that BPA is increasingly used for compliance and process improvement initiatives. For business process (BP)
improvement, BPA is the key link between business activity monitoring and workflow assembly and business orchestration.
As
businesses look more and more to process improvements as a core driver of growth and profitability, they made it clear that they want an easier way to
analyze their processes, many of which are already captured in Office Visio 2007 diagrams, said Richard Wolf, general manager of the Office Graphics
Division at Microsoft. This led us to focus Office Visio 2007 on integrating and displaying process, system and activity data directly in Office
Visio 2007 diagrams for easier exploration and understanding...

Process Explorer shows you information about which
handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always
shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window
depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has
opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a
powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

29.05.2008Process Monitor 2 Released
If you have any need to find out what your computer is
really doing under the hood, you know that Process Monitor is
the tool.
Today, Process Monitor 2.0 was released. From the
Sysinternals blog:
This major update to Process Monitor adds real-time TCP and UDP monitoring to its existing process, thread, DLL, file system and registry
monitoring. You can now see the TCP and UDP activity processes performed, including the operation (e.g. connect, send, receive), local and remote IP
addresses and DNS names, and operation transfer lengths. On Windows Vista, Process Monitor also collects thread stacks for network
operations.

Intel has completed the development phase of its next-generation manufacturing process that shrinks chip circuitry to 32 nanometers, the chipmaker
said Tuesday night. Intel processors are currently made on a 45nm process. Generally, smaller geometries result in faster and more power-efficient
processors. The chipmaker said in a statement that The company is on track for production readiness of this future generation (of transistors) in the
fourth quarter of 2009 and also added that it will provide technical details about the 32nm process technology at the International Electron Devices
Meeting (IEDM) next week in San Francisco. Finishing the development phase for 32nm process technology keeps Intel on track with its "tick-tock"
strategy.

03.04.2007Researchers warn that rootkits aren't the only threat
Rootkits may be getting most
of the attention within the
security community. But it's
important not to overlook
other, equally effective
antiforensic techniques that
malware writers have at their
disposal for hiding their code
from detection, according to a
security researcher at the
Black Hat 2007 conference.
Nick
Harbour, a senior consultant
at Alexandria, Va.-based
security vendor Mandiant,
outlined a few of those
techniques during a
presentation at the show. None
of the methods are especially
new, but they have been only
scarcely documented.
One of the ways in
which malware writers can hide
their code from forensic
discovery is via a method
known as process injection.
The technique involves the
injection of malicious code
into another legitimate
running process on an end
user's system, Harbour said,
speaking with Computerworld
after his presentation.
There are
several methods of process
injection available to
hackers. The technique allows
them to conceal the source of
the malicious behavior in a
computer. The technique can be
used to bypass firewalls on
client devices and other
security defenses, because the
process that has been injected
with the malicious code would
appear largely normal, he
said...

03.08.2007AMD's 65nm ramp struck by leakage problems - report
You have probably been
wondering where the new AMD
65nm chips are, or at least
where they are above 2.6GHz or
so. The reason you you
haven't seen any, according
to one SI, poster is leakage.
If you read
this,
you will see that the lower
the bin goes, the vastly
higher the leakage goes as
well. This means that AMD is
more or less binning 65nm
parts based on leakage alone,
and power consumption is the
overriding factor limiting the
new processes ramp.
Until the firm gets the
process under control, it will
not be able to meet or exceed
the clock speeds achieved on
the 90nm process. This also
has some pretty ugly
implications for Barcelona's
ramp, and AMD in general. It
is looking like AMDs 65nm
process will be about as
universally loved as Intel's
90nm ones...
