Process Lasso v.3.18 (64-bit)

Process Lasso v.3.18 is a unique new technology intended to automatically restrain running processes that are consuming too many CPU cycles. With Process Lasso, these processes are temporarily reduced in priority so that the system is returned to a responsive level. Process Lasso can even work when multiple processes are responsible for a decrease in system responsiveness. In addition, Process Lasso offers capabilities such as default process priorities, termination of disallowed processes, and logging of processes executed. Process Lasso is extremely efficient and itself has almost no CPU usage. The core engine, called the Process Governor, is separated from the GUI so that one can completely close the GUI and keep the primary functions of Process Lasso operating. The core engine can even be run as a system service so that it starts before any user is logged in.

Latest Changes:

• Addition.Core: Added new functionality to limit the number of instances a process can have per user session
• Fix.Core: Improved handling of cases where unexpected results come from the NT kernel, usually indicating a rootkit or other kernel-level hooking
• Fix.Core: Fixed improper handling of cases where syntactical errors were present in the default process priorities (they would attempt to be applied anyway, in contrast to the error shown)
• Change.Core: Some memory optimizations
• Change.Core: Some minor CPU optimizations
• Change.Core: Improved efficiency of COM components calls
• Addition.GUI: Added config dialog for new feature to limit the number of instances a process can have per-session
• Addition.GUI: Added new log toggle for terminations due to instance limit
• Change.GUI: Substantial reduction in memory use
• Change.GUI: Make 'buy now' button initially not visible
• Change.GUI: Config dialogs no longer ask to save changes when close button hit if no changes were made
• Change.GUI: Made default button on the process list config dialogs the 'Add' button so you don't accidentally close the dialog by hitting enter
• Change.All: Changed compiler optimization settings
• Change.Defaults: ProBalance priority restorations (end of restraint) events are now logged by default
• Installer.Change: Upgraded to NSIS 2.40
