Control active processes and avoid CPU abuse

Multitasking enables you to open many applications simultaneously, although this usually results in many processes hogging the CPU. Sometimes a single active process takes up so many resources that the whole system becomes unstable and may end up freezing.

You can use Process Tamer to prevent these situations. It's a small tool that sits unobtrusively in Windows system tray and controls all active processes. As soon as any of them goes beyond the limits you set in the program's configuration settings, Process Tamer will lower its priority and therefore get the situation back to normal.

The program's options enable you to set the threshold of reaction, which is based only on CPU activity (no RAM memory, for example). You can also set rules and filters applied to specific applications.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
