RE: Process Hacker 2.14

Thanks for the notice. I use this tool as a replacement for Task Manager since it works better than other alternatives under a non-admin account.
This version might generate a Cloud alert (CIMA) from CIS, it is a false-positive.

Its better then Process Explorer. Process Hacker can even terminate your av.

And process explorer is one of those alternatives that needs administrator privileges when it starts. A bit off topic: Comodo uses a modified version of Process Hacker in KillSwitch (part of Comodo Cleaning Essentials)

Process Hacker is open-source and it is much better than Process Explorer. I love it.

RE: Process Hacker 2.14

Just a side note... last time I executed Process Hacker, I got a nice BSOD. I never felt like trying it again, since Process Explorer works well enough. ;)

RE: Process Hacker 2.14

Ummmmmmmmmm. Been using Process Hacker for well over 3 years. Never a BSOD. What version were you using? This one? Since it does not even need to be installed I find it hard to believe it caused a BSOD. You probably were using the older version which used .NetFramework.

Possibly. It was a while ago.

"Since it does not even need to be installed I find it hard to believe it caused a BSOD."

Well, all I knew was that I ran the Process Hacker executable, and the next thing I know I got a BSOD.

RE: Process Hacker 2.14

Well the other day I bit into a bad apple. Does that mean that all apples are bad. No. What version where you runningt at the time? Did you download the installer or portable version? Where you using Process Hacker 2.14? Cause if not then your problem is irrelevant to the current topic.

"Well the other day I bit into a bad apple. Does that mean that all apples are bad. No."

Kind of obvious. I never once thought that PH was very buggy, since everyone else adores it.

"What version where you runningt at the time? Did you download the installer or portable version? Where you using Process Hacker 2.14?"

It a long time ago, actually. Version 1.3.7 or something.

"Cause if not then your problem is irrelevant to the current topic."

Well sorrrrrryyy dear buttercup. :heart: I was talking about why I was not using the current version of Process Hacker: because I had a bad experience in the past, and because PE is more than enough for my needs.

RE: Process Hacker 2.14

Other than being able to terminate my AV, is Process Hacker really that much more useful than Process Explorer or Autoruns?

What are the specific advantages?
