In the computer world, most viruses use processes, services and startup items to run and to multiply into the operating system. This is the philosophy behind the AnVir Task Manager application, a program which was specially designed for dealing with viruses and malicious objects who add themselves to the startup list or the list of running processes and services. Most antivirus applications don't address this area of the operating system and remove a virus only by half. AnVir Task Manager, by analyzing the list of startup items or running processes and being able to kill any of them with a single mouse click, will make any virus disappear for good and will protect your system and the data stored on the hard disk.

After installing and launching the application, the user will be presented with a graphical tabbed interface, in which he can easily view all the startup items, running processes and tasks. Any of these processes can be immediately closed if the user thinks they are suspicious. For each startup item, AnVir Task Manager can display detailed information, allowing the user to see whether an item is dangerous or not. The same goes for processes and services.

AnVir Task Manager includes an additional tool, for cleaning up the registry from obsolete and useless keys, which can be accessed directly from the program's interface. Cleaning the registry on a daily basis will make sure that your system will run at maximum performance and stability and will also remove any keys added by viruses or malware.

AnVir Task Manager includes a fully-featured system tweaker, which allows the user to customize the way Windows appears and works, by offering a list of options which are normally hidden from the user. In case the user would like to restore the list of startup items later on, he can back it up to a file. What's more, a startup report can be saved as an HTML file, for later analysis.

Pros

It allows you to remove any item from the startup list and any running process or service. Besides that, the program includes a registry scanner, which can remove all the obsolete and useless keys. Furthermore, a fully-featured operating system tweaker is included.

Cons

The interface may seem a bit crowded and overloaded with features for some users. AnVir Task Manager allows you to easily remove any startup item, running process or service, making your system safer from viruses and also restoring lost performance and stability.
