Process Lasso (x32) 2.86

Publisher's Description:

Process Lasso improves system performance, responsiveness, and stability in high load situations. It watches for processes consuming too much of the CPU and automatically restrains them to improve system responsiveness. It can also automatically terminate undesired processes, apply default priorities and CPU affinities to processes, or log all processes executed. It is not a task manager replacement, but does have task manager like capabilities only as a compliment to its core functions.

Process Lasso has the following other editions available: Process Lasso (x64).

Latest Changes:

• More accurate system responsiveness calculation
• Reduced memory consumption
• Re-named GUI executable
• Experimental run-as-service support for the core engine
• Many other fixes, enhancements, and functional additions

I really like Process Lasso. It does exactly what I wanted, to stop hung-up processes from making my computer slow. I wish the author would do fewer new releases and instead do occasional big updates instead, but as long as it keeps getting better I won't complain. Overall, great app, and thanks to the author for making it free!

As you may have guessed, that was a false alarm. These anti-virus software are getting worse and worse with false alarms. The problem should now be resolved. If its not, then CA needs to be notified. CA products are particularly bad with false alarms. Note: I rate my own product a 4 here to reflect the current average user rating.

If I had to guess, I would say the lack of restraint in some cases was due to the new exclusion of foreground processes from OOC restraint *OR* exclusion from restraint of non-normal priority processes. The former option may have been forced on even if you had it turned off due to a bug in the configuration system. The foreground exclusion option is now defaulted to OFF and the value of that setting is properly saved, as of v2.66. Sometimes clicking away from a high-usage application takes too long to actually occur, so that could have been the cause even if you were aware of the foreground exclusion possibility (that's why its defaulted to OFF now). Thanks for the feedback.

Likewise. I have no grudge, no agenda. I am just annoyed that I took all the time to configure and set up Process Lasso, and it doesn't work at all under some circumstances for me.
