Wintasks

Many users spend big money on expensive hardware upgrades just to play the latest games, movies or MP3 music files. What's less well known is that with the right software tools, it's possible to very quickly tune a system to a level of performance that can easily handle even cheaper hardware. Efficient resource and task management is a critical element in achieving maximum performance, which unfortunately the vast majority of computers fall far short of. WinTasks not only helps you run your favorite applications, but also makes the entire system faster and more stable. Great for running games.

The latest version of WinTasks is strongly focused on underpinning your computer's protection against hostile software. Thanks to it you can deal with Trojans, spyware, keyloggers, adware but also hackers and other dangers. WinTasks is thus an application that is a great addition to your antivirus and firewall.

Function and feature overview:

User interface:

• Intuitive, easy-to-understand icons and operation names
• Comprehensible graphs and performance limit settings for automatic resource management
• Real-time CPU, Internet connection and memory usage reports built into the control bar

Protection from hostile programs:

• functions as a spywall - a software firewall - and only allows programs that are deemed to be non-behavioral to run
• provides detailed descriptions about each running process
• allows you to terminate any process
• displays and allows you to set priorities for running processes

Memory optimization:

• Real-time memory monitoring
• Memory release with a simple click not using keyboard shortcuts
• Setting a limit for automatic memory release to prevent running out of system resources

• Real-time CPU usage monitoring
• Setting more system resources to demanding applications such as games, mpeg decoders, etc.
• Ability to have server and similar applications moved to the background of the system to take up as little system resources as possible
• Automatically assigning more system resources to the operating system at critical times

Internet connection optimization:

• Real-time Internet connection monitoring
• Optimizing Internet settings for maximum performance
• Optimizing Internet browser settings to speed up startup and work
• Testing connections and detecting current quality

• Monitoring boot duration and logging it to a special file
• Removing unnecessary tasks to speed up loading and free up resources
• Automatic boot optimization using an extensive task database

• Defense against system collapse and immediate termination of "unsafe" applications
• Definition of custom keyboard shortcuts to launch the defense mode

Version Professional
The manufacturer also offers a professional version, which is intended especially for software developers. According to the manufacturer, the professional version significantly shortens the development process because it monitors processes and system resources. With this tool it is much easier for developers to detect deficiencies in program operation (especially in the area of memory handling). The tool is also useful for optimizing CPU usage.
