ProcMon is a tool that displays the list of
the processes (applications and services) currently running on your
computer. The Program
column shows the program name,
the PID column shows the unique process ID,
the Path column shows the full path to the program's
executable file, the Manufacturer
column shows the name of the
file manufacturer, and the Modules
column shows the number of
modules used by the selected process. ProcMon is a handy tool for
identifying hidden applications, killing running processes, and
managing the usage of your PC's resources more
effectively.
The CPU utilization chart shows
CPU resource allocation between the processes during the last
several minutes. The top 10 CPU-consuming processes, including the
closed ones, are shown. The refresh interval for the CPU
utilization chart is configurable (see Options).
