softonic review of AnVir Task Manager

The task manager that comes bundled with Windows by default should be enough for most people but others, mainly power users, will definitely prefer something like Anvir Task Manager.

This highly detailed task management tool analyzes everything that's currently active on your system and displays it on a tabbed interface: running applications, active processes and services, programs that are scheduled to run upon Windows start, percentage of CPU and RAM in use, and more.
I especially liked the two icons the programs puts on the system tray that enable you to control RAM usage and CPU load at a glance.
Anvir Task Manager is certainly much more than just a management tool for active processes: it's a complete app that lets you control everything that's going on while you're using the computer. A must-have for power users!

lifehacker.com review of AnVir Task Manager

AnVir Task Manager Free is a Windows Task Manager replacement boasting an enormous feature set. This utility can manage startup applications, running applications, processes, services, and oh-so-much more. When you select a running process in the top pane, the bottom pane provides a wealth of information about the process, from a brief description of what it does to the network connections it's making and DLLs it's using. One of my favorite unusual features is the Check with AntiViruses on VirusTotal right-click option—which streamlines my favorite method of determining if a file really has a virus. You can find tons of Task Manager replacements out in the wild, but AnVir still manages to stand out. If you want even more functionality, this free download is also available in a Pro version with a kitchen sink full of features.

DownloadSquad review of AnVir Task Manager

AnVir Task Manager really surprised me. It's got an insane number of useful features. Apart from performing the usual process monitoring chores, AnVir also packs integrated startup control (a la MSconfig) and service manager.
Click any process, and AnVir's bottom pane will display everything from an application's creator and signing authority to how many active internet connections it has. It'll also display a full list of DLLs and other files in use by the selected app.
Connection tab provides detailed port monitoring, giving you a quick look at which of your processes are accessing the 'net.
It also monitors your system's workload, dropping icons in the system tray that indicate CPU usage (including a breakdown by application) and hard drive temperature, free space, and activity levels (again with per-application info).

Soft32 review of AnVir Task Manager

AnVir Task Manager Pro AnVir Task Manager Pro is a very useful system utility. Although it may seem to be another frontend for Windows Task Manager, it is actually an advanced task manager combined with a startup manager and an antivirus.
The complexity of this application resides in the fact that it provides detailed information about startup items, running applications and processes. Besides providing all that useful informations, the program also provides the appropriate tools to help you manage all the items.
The items found in the startup section (applications which start with Windows) can be started, stopped and edited using the registry editor. Using the context menu, you can also open the directory containing that item, edit its properties or search for related results using 'Google search' (will open a new Internet Explorer window). An interesting option is that of delaying a startup item: this means that it will be started one minute after Windows has been loaded.
Running applications can be forcefully shut down, brought to front and so on. Here, you have also the option to find an application's process, in order to make sure what it does. Processes can be managed as well from viewing their properties to setting their priority.
The program will place two icons in the taskbar that will show your disk usage and CPU usage. You can create custom list of startup exclusions, blocked processes or processes with modified priority.
In conclusion: I think this is an application which can help you keep a clear track of all installed and running processes and application, helping you to keep your system clean and running smoothly.

Customers Feedback

Excellent work. Accidently got the Klez virus. I located it in my startup but was unable to remove it or delete the dos file even in dos mode (winknow.exe and winkyo.exe). AnVir Security Suite killed it in five seconds.

This has been a valuable enhancement to my system. I run it almost constantly in the background. It's the best startup manager that I have found, gives me the instant control that I need at the process and service level, and offers a set of useful system performance monitors.
