Defense+ Tasks > Common Tasks - View Active Process List

To view Active Process list, Navigate to:
Defense+ > Common Tasks > Active Process List.

The interface displays all currently active processes that are running on your PC and the parent application of those processes. By tracing an application's parent process, Defense+ can detect whether a non-trusted application is attempting to spawn an already trusted application and thus deny access rights for that trusted application. This system provides the very highest protection against trojans, malware and rootkits that try to use trusted software to launch an attack.

Application - Displays the names of the applications which are currently running on your PC.

Application - Displays the names of the applications which are currently running on your PC.

Terminate: Shuts down the currently selected process

Terminate and quarantine : Shuts down the currently selected process and places the executable into the My Quarantined Files section of Defense+.
