PRESS RELEASE - PROCESS LIBRARY

Kevin Vella

Ed: It is not ICPUG's purpose to act as a mouthpiece for commercial organisations but, when something appears that could be useful to them, it is worth keeping readers informed. The following unsolicited e-mail was sent to me.

My name is Kevin J. Vella and I am the PR Manager for Uniblue. I have some very interesting news for your audience: since the past nine months we have been operating http://www.processlibrary.com, a knowledge website service that gives computer users anonymous and free access to an extensive database of detailed process information.

People use http://www.processlibrary.com because they suspect certain background processes, (and/or dll’s), to be security threats. We return comprehensive process definitions and advice on what to do: whether the particular process should be terminated because it is harmful or unnecessary or whether it should be left alone since it is critical to the stable operation of the computer. In this way, users can take action to make their general computing experience more stable and safe.

We are very proud to announce that http://www.processlibrary.com has an average of 300,000 individual searches every day and it’s growing!

The web site is updated with new definitions on a weekly basis and we are always looking for ways to enhancing the service we give to our loyal audience. Over the coming weeks we will be adding 500 new processes to bring up the total topics covered to 3000. To include as many processes as possible, we have just kick-started an online community with the aim of having our audience discuss processes and request any unknown definitions.

http://www.processlibrary.com was developed from the information feature found in our WinTasks, the utility software that allows users take full control of their computers.

Ed: The above web site could be used when trying to track down whether something running as a process or in the startup is a normal activity, or whether it is a potential piece of malware. All such tools are helpful in the struggle against web nasties. I'm sure readers will keep me informed of any other similar (free) tools.
