Sysinternals Process Explorer (etc.)

[Farelf]

Downloaded the (free) Process Explorer from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinte...s/bb842062.aspx quite some time ago but far from confident I have a handle on all of its features and capabilities. This video presentation helped more recently however :

Malware Hunting with the Sysinternals Tools

- that presentation also available as a (BIG) download at:

http://video.ch9.ms/teched/2012/na/SIA302.wmv (darn, inadvertently downloaded it twice just now)

Just the thing for "worryworts" like me (especially when the latest "must have" third party utility is causing system crashes left, right and centre - or am I "owned"? No, I'm [probably] not. - goodbye Lopesoft FileMenu Tools, I'm sure you work perfectly in most installations).

Other Sysinternals tools and malware elimination methods discussed in:

Hunting Down and Killing Ransomware

Thanks to member "alan" at the GRC newgroups for those last three links.
