ITMA.
​I've been deploying the Microsoft 'PROCESS EXPLORER', and giving it a workout. It's user-friendly, and more understandable than most.

Anyone out there, with any 'tips', 'pros & cons', etc ?

Hi photo308:

How-To Geek has a handy set of tutorials on how to use Sysinternal utilities like Autoruns, Process Monitor, etc. at Using Sysinternals Tools Like a Pro and two of those tutorials cover the basics for using Process Explorer.

My post # 6 in the VistaForums thread Processes in Task Manager During Updates includes an example where Process Explorer was used to identify the thread running under the generic Windows host process svchost.exe (in that example, the culprit was the Windows Update Agent wuaueng.dll) that was consuming excessive amounts of CPU.

​I found the 'Virus Total' tab. I've, also, sent stuff to 'VT'.
'FlashPeak - SlimJet Browser', 'slimjet.exe', returned (RED)1/57(RED).
Norton 'conathst.exe', returned (RED)1/55(RED).'False Positive', springs to mind ?

Hi,

I also use Process Explorer.  It's a cool tool in the Sysinternals suite. If you haven't already checked this option out, I'd recommend linking VT (VirusTotal) to Process Explorer.  It's listed in the 'Options' pull-down menu in Process Exp.

Here's a screencap of my Process Explorer & the pull-down menu.  Click on Options, then check the VirusTotal option:

The VT column will then appear in Process Exp.
