On Dec 22nd 2009, one of CNET's download.com 'editors' reviewed Process Lasso v3.70.6. There was some good and bad in the review, but the end conclusion was great.Unfortunately, the graph legend apparently was not shown on to the reviewer due to the initial window size. They must have been using a small laptop, netbook, or virtual machine. Sure, they could have resized the graph or main window to have the legend shown, but they didn't know that. This caused them to be confused about what the graph metrics meant.They also neglected to ever mention...

The hazards of reading user reviews
Posted on 21:42 by Unknown
Every once in a while, I go to check user reviews on popular download sites. I want to see how users are reacting to my software. In some ways, this is a necessary evil. I need feedback. For instance, I know my GUI is apparently very ugly, and that's my top priority now - as you can see in v3.80 (and more changes planned for v3.90).Fortunately, 95% of Process Lasso reviews are VERY POSITIVE. That's great, and wonderfully inspiring.However, checking user reviews isn't without its hazards. I take the few negative comments personally, and I've created...

Running Process Lasso with Highest Rights - new beta improvements
Posted on 21:14 by Unknown
I'm approaching final for v3.80. I've accomplished all but a few items remaining on my list, then I'll enter the testing (and regression testing) stage. Slowly over the course of the next few days, I'll introduce a few of the new features in v3.80. Today's feature is better automatic startup of Process Lasso with Highest Rights for Vista+ systems with UAC turned on.As many of us know, Windows Defender blocks automatic startup of all applications that want to run with Highest Rights. You can't even create an ignore list. I reckon this is a good...

WARNING: Beware of pirated copies of Process Lasso Pro
Posted on 12:26 by Unknown
Some users may be tempted to save money by downloading illegal copies of Process Lasso Pro. I highly recommend against doing that. Illegal copies of Process Lasso downloaded from the internet could be harboring malware, or be modified in such a way that they cause other problems. I am not going to claim that every illegally hosted copy of Process Lasso Pro has malware in it, but do you really want to take that chance? As a general rule, NEVER install software that you don't get from a trusted source (such as Bitsum Technologies).Process Lasso Pro...

New low cost license experiment
Posted on 14:03 by Unknown
I've long thought software costs too much. It seems that every time I go to buy software, I get depressed. It is just so darn expense. That is why I've always tried to provide affordable licenses for my software, and I think I've done a good job of that.However, as an experiment in further decreasing the cost of my software, I am now offering 1 and 3 month update subscriptions for $7.95 and $9.95, respectively. Want to buy one? Click here . Of course, given the extremely active development on our software, we must admit that a better value is to...

The many instances of Chrome
Posted on 08:00 by Unknown
As many readers of this blog may know, Google Chrome is different from other Windows web browsers. It isolates each of its tabs into an individual process, instead of containing them all in a single multi-threaded process. Google Chrome essentially forks itself each time you create a new tab. This can easily result in 10-20 chrome.exe processes running on your system. But, don't worry -- that doesn't mean more memory or CPU use. Read on.Fork? That's when a process creates a new running copy of itself, identical to the first. As always (fork or...
