Find out what your computer is really doing

There is loads of software applications and websites on the Internet that offer you the ability to scan your computer for viruses and other problems and unfortunately many of these are used by spammers and pirates to try and get you to download a piece of software that then costs you a fortune to get rid of.

That’s why when WhatsGoodOnTheWeb were told about www.processlibrary.com  we were a little bit suspicious but thought some of our readers may be interested if we check out the site before they visit it.

What we found was a very well organised web site that basically offers two functions – the first is a simple look up so that you can identify what is happening on your computer by entering the name of the file you want to check out and the second is a downloadable application that does the same thing but runs in the background so you can check on your PC at any time.

We tried the application on an old computer which we knew had a virus and we found it very useful as it highlighted the processes that were not supposed to be there – we’d say that www.processlibrary.com  is a very good testing tool and useful if you think your PC has a problem.

All in all the application and the lookup are very good, the website is clear and does not try to sell something you don’t need. If you are unsure of what your PC is doing we’d recommend trying the lookup functionality as it may save you a lot of time and effort in the future.

If you have any comments on Processlibrary please let us know.

Improve your PC Security

www.malwarecity.com

You only have to pick up a newspaper or check out a news website to hear about the latest and greatest security threat. Malwarecity is a new site from the creators of BITDEFENDER, one of the numerous PC antivirus solutions available.

The site is aimed at providing information on the latest threats to PC security but is a little more “trendy” than others out there. The objective, of course, is so that you buy an antivirus application from Bitdefender but it does provide a useful resource and tells you about some of the latest security problems.

Overall we thought the site was OK but what we would really love is one of the Internet security companies to come up with an impartial site that lists all the products and all the solutions on the market. We know this is wishful thinking but they are all working towards the same goal – protecting your PC.

We’re giving the site two stars at the moment – Malwarecity is useful and can educate those people who know very little about PC security but more tools would really make this a great site – Go on Bitdefender – less sales and a bit more help and we’d love you.
