WinUtilities Process Security is an enhanced task manager, that provides advanced information about programs and processes running on the computer. It displays all the standard information, including file name, directory path, description, CPU usage etc. as well as a unique security risk rating. This rating is conclusive and relies on the expertise of the user to determine whether the process should be terminated or removed.
WinUtilities Process Security allows you to monitor CPU and memory usage graphs per process, view detailed processes information (with descriptions), stop and start new processes, set priorities and much more. You can easily find and remove unnecessary background processes as well as assigning more resources to demanding processes like games, realtime multimedia applications and cd writing softwares.

If you want to use the Windows Task Manager again, simply select the same menu item to remove the check mark in front of it.
Click File > New Tasks… to open the Windows Run dialog, which you can use to start a new application or open a file.
