Process Lasso 5.1.0.42

Process Lasso improves system performance, responsiveness, and stability
during high loads through dynamic adjustments to process priority classes.
It can also automatically terminate undesired processes,
apply default priorities and CPU affinities to processes,
limit the number of instances a process can have, and log all processes.
It is not a task manager replacement, but does have task manager like capabilities
to compliment its primary functions.
Process Lasso runs on all editions of Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, and Windows 7.

Process Lasso 5.1.0.68


5.1.0.68GUIAdditionAdded dedicated thread to monitor governor status at all times, and recover from any abnormal condition. Starting 60 seconds after GUI launch, it is self-waiting (meaning it sleeps until there is any problem). Note that in the event of a problem, it does wait a few seconds before taking action, in case the issue is an intentional termination or temporary condition. (backport from v6) 5.1.0.68GUIRemovalRemoved deprecated code to monitor governor status, saves a few CPU cycles 5.1.0.68AllChangeMisc minor tweaks not large enough to mentio
