This is a small application to help you find out what those strangely named processes listed in Task Manager are really up to. The usual Windows Task Manager tells you what applications and processes are running, but some process names aren’t very clear to the average computer user. Process Explorer helps you get to the bottom of things by digging down to see which application started a process and which resources that app is currently using.

This can be a big help when you’re trying to figure out which background processes you can safely shut down, it can also help developers sniff out memory leaks. It can even help sniff out spyware, too. Now comes with Vista and 64 bit processor compatibility.

Need a program to back up your files and directories easily? You may want to check out Cobian Backup. Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program you can use to backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network.

The good thing about this program is that it uses very few resources, so it can even be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary.

One thing worthy of note about Cobian Backup is that it’s not really like your usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, and as a result creating a security copy. In fact the best way to describe this open source is as a “Scheduler for security copies”.

The latest version of this cool open source, Cobian Backup 8.2.0.186 which just hit the World Wide Web last week has these latest changes:

• Fixed a bug that prevented some directories to be deleted
• A new Slovenian translation has been included

Performing just standard deletion of files doesn’t mean those files actually leave your hard drive. But with BCWipe, you can be sure of a total and secure file deletion.

BCWipe is designed to securely delete files from your hard drive. The truth is standard file deletion still leaves the contents of the so called deleted file on your disk. Unless it has been overwritten by files subsequently saved, it can be recovered using standard disk utilities.

‘Wiping’ is a term used to describe the process of shredding the contents of a file or disk space. It is impossible to restore any data that has been properly wiped. That’s exactly what BCWipe does. Working quickly and integrated with Windows Shell, BCWipe shreds data in files so that they can not be recovered by any means.

The latest version, which has just been recently released, BCWipe 3.10 has a major change of being worked on for Vista Support.
