What is Process-Watch?





Ad-Aware SE Professional Edition comes with Process-Watch, a powerful process viewer/manager. It allows browsing, scanning, and termination of running processes (and their associated modules), as well as using installed extensions to further analyze a running process or module. Using extensions require that you first select an item in the list and then pick the extension to use from the context menu





Process-Watch shows you a snapshot of all the running processes (top) and their associated modules (bottom) at the time Process-Watch is launched. This snapshot can be refreshed at any time by clicking the “Refresh” button or right-click to bring up the context menu and select “Refresh”.





Process-Watch displays two lists with information, the upper list is the process list displaying the currently running processes in the system. The lower list is a module list showing the modules the selected process has loaded into memory





Process-Watch allows you to quickly terminate any running process or unload a module. Be careful here! Some processes and modules are needed by Windows or other software in order to function





You can scan the processes with Process-Watch to see if there are any known offending processes running and terminate them if necessary.





By default Process-Watch lists all processes that are connected to visible windows on the users desktop. By un-checking the “Limit To Visible Windows” option Process-Watch will show all currently running processes in Windows including all background processes.
