Process Patrol Screenshot
| Process Patrol is a process manager with the ability to handle annoying programs that keep restarting themselves, even after they are terminated. Unlike regular TaskManagers, it kills the process and then immediately renames the file, so that additional attempts to relaunch the file will fail. It provides a task manager that shows currently running processes and allows you to mark selected items as safe, or add them to the Stop List. The program can run in the background and scan your running processes every X minutes. If a Stop List item is found running, it will stop it and automatically rename the process for a specified time period (then restore the original name). Another handy feature allows you to quickly retrieve Google information for any running process, using a built-in browser view. The program is mostly useful for users that try to keep particular adware or other annoyances from starting, without having to remove the entire package. This is not a spyware/adware scanner, nor a removal tool. Process Patrol is intended for advanced users that know what they are doing.
