End Unresponsive Programs in Windows with Process Assassin
Posted on March 14, 2010 - Filed Under Free Software Downloads | 3 Comments
Software hang-ups are a source of immeasurable frustration. It is amazing to think how many hours we waste waiting on an unresponsive program to either do something or close. The Windows Task Manager can take eons to close a program, and if it cannot close it, the only recourse is to restart the entire computer.
Process Assassin is a small piece of software designed to kill unresponsive programs immediately, without closing any of your other open programs. This means software hang-ups are a minor glitch in your day, rather than a banging-head-against-keyboard travesty.

Do you scout out local free WiFi hotspots before vacationing in a new place? Do you only stay at hotels with free wireless access? Most of us do…but would you check your bank accounts from one of these public networks?
Public WiFi networks have given us nearly constant access to the internet, which we love, but they leave our personal information vulnerable if we are daft (or desperate) enough to enter our passwords or contact information while surfing.

Everyone has had the need to reformat their computers at one time or another. They might have been hit by a virus, or suffering from a very slow system, or just want to keep their computer files in order.
However, it takes time to re-install the programs that were deleted during the reformatting. Moreover, one has to be on standby to wait for the programs to install before moving on to the next.
Ninite solves this problem by allowing the user to choose the programs and applications they want to install. Ninite also automatically installs a program when another application is finished installing.

At least once in our lives, we all experience a moment of utter idiocy. We click the delete all button on our cameras, thereby destroying precious photos with captured moments impossible to recreate.
Or, we pull the card out of the camera while its still on…corrupting all files on the card. Or we drop our cell phone in the toilet (an occurrence so common that most cell phones have a “flood detection strip” under the battery), frying the motherboard and the enclosed Mini-SD card too.
