It's fairly easy to find out what applications are running on your computer. Simply run Windows Task Manager and you can see the current processes and choose to manually remove a process if it is taking up processor time.

However, do you know what's running on your system when you boot your computer?

This little application enables you to quickly see the programs that launch when you start your PC. You can then choose temporarily to disable these applications or remove them completely.

What's Running goes much further than Windows Task Manager, enabling you to monitor drivers, current IP connections, all Windows services and much more.

Think of this as a tool that will enable you quickly to find out more information about your PC and locate potential problems.
