Task Killer is a small but very useful Windows software which places a small icon in the system tray. Clicking that icon reveals all running processes, open windows and services in an easy to use interface. The processes give details about memory usage and name of course.
A click on any process kills that process after verification that you really want to do that. The main purpose of Task Killer is to be quickly able to terminate hung processes and windows without having to load the Windows task manager. I like the display of all running processes and their memory consumption which really aids in finding out which tasks use a lot of resources.
This was actually the way that I found that MediaAgent.exe was running on my system which lead to another article I posted earlier today. Users can change the default behavior of Task Killer in the options. It is possible for instance to disable the confirmation dialog or to create shortcuts to access functions even faster.
