WinTasks Professional Protects Against Viruses & Worms

LI Utilities has released WinTasks 4 Professional v. 4.4 (now version 5), a Windows application that increases system security and performance. In addition to finding resource leaks and freeing up valuable computer resources, WinTasks can also protect you from Internet threats such as the MSBlast and SoBig worms. WinTasks helps you improve system security and prevent viruses and other unwanted processes from running unnoticed on your computer.

The program's Process Library is updated continuously, and gives you easy-to-understand names and descriptions for all of the programs and processes that are active in your computer. For example, if you have the SoBig F virus running on your computer, then the executable winppr32.exe is active. This program is listed in WinTasks' Process Library as a virus. Using WinTasks, it's easy to detect and terminate it. The MSBlast worm that caused so many problems in computers around the world could easily be spotted and removed. WinTasks recognizes MSBlast.exe as a worm, and lets you terminate it immediately.

A simple WinTasks script can be created to automatically detect and remove this and similar worms before they spread. When new viruses and worms are discovered, it is often difficult to download and install operating system or anti-virus software patches because millions of users worldwide are trying to download these files. WinTasks scripts, on the other hand, are easy to create, and can be used before updated virus definition files or system patches become available. Using WinTasks, virus and worm damage can be prevented or reduced considerably.

WinTasks can also remove spyware, adware, and other security threats. You have the power to identify and terminate any program, even if it is invisible in Windows' task manager. By logging CPU and memory usage you can also track down and remove scheduled processes that might pose a threat to your computer.

Whether you're a business person who wants to tweak system performance by assigning priorities to tasks that you're running, a computer consultant who wants to be able to see everything that's running inside a client's computer, or a home or business user who wants to secure your system from next week's Internet virus and worm attack, WinTasks 4 Professional gives you the tools that you need. WinTasks 4 Professional v. 4.4 runs under Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, costs $49.95 (US), and may be purchased securely online.

Multi-user licenses are available. You can download a free, fully-functional 30-day trial version of WinTasks from the same Internet address. About LI Utilities Since 1999, LI Utilities has been developing and marketing Windows applications for businesses and home users.

In addition to WinTasks 4 Standard and Professional, the company also offers WinBackup, a fast and secure way to back up all of your Windows files; SpeedUpMyPC, a Windows utility that frees up RAM, improves CPU usage, reduces startup times, and helps you recover from crashes; and RemoteNow, a suite of tools that gives systems administrators and technical support people the ability to diagnose and solve computer problems from remote locations.
