    For anyone that uses this program, a newer version is available...

    I seldom use it too.

    Secunia identified a known vulnerability in the version I had (can't remember the version number), but the latest edition of Process Explorer is secure. The program is stand-alone with no installer. It is a great tool to identify various running processes and to see if they are maxing out resources. It can also be used to identify rouge services.

    I wouldn't use Secunia PSI. Seems like an unnecessary tool.

    Version 2 works better than version 3.

    I like Secunia because its an easy way to update Flash, and it removes Flash zombie files too.
