Process Hacker is a feature-packed tool for manipulating processes and services on your computer. Includes a simple, customized tree view, detailed performance graphs, list of network connections, comprehensive process list (including hidden), full control over processes, rootkit termination, and DLL controls.

| System Requirements: | WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 |
| Writes settings to: | Settings location is specified by passing the -settings parameter to Process Hacker, together with the full path to the settings file. |
| Stealth: ? | No. The kprocesshacker.sys driver leaves traces in the Registry. To make the program stealth, delete/rename kprocesshacker.sys before launch or start the program with -nokph switch. Note that this will disable some advanced features. Additionally, the update check will leave a trace in Internet Explorer's browser cache. This can be avoided by not checking for updates within the Help menu (there does not appear to be an automatic check). |

This program is written in C and C#
I think this program require .Net Framework
".NET Framework is NOT required." The pre-2.x versions required .NET I believe. This one does not.
the portable version did not work

Read README.txt. I'm sure that if you knew to copy the plugins folder over to the same directory as ProcessHacker.exe in order to get plugins working, you would also know some other important things as well...

wj32, I wish there was an easier way to remove the driver. I want to use the driver version but then remove it from the system when I'm done.
PS. this is totally a cross between

@a: The driver is automatically deleted when you restart. If this is not good enough, please create a feature request on the forums so I can remember to fix it :)
V2.12
Help! In Sep2010 this was at vers 2.4 on this page,
now in Feb2011 I see 2.11 and then 2.12.
Was 2.4 dodgy in some way? Thanks
V2.12
@Ralph: No, it wasn't. In case of Process Hacker, 2.12 is higher version number than 2.4.
V2.12

V2.13
I just downloaded the tool, ran the tool, and because I was just curious, I clicked on "About", and in this popup I clicked on "silk icons".
Result:
- Process viewer is frozen
- I cannot even unload it from the memory (task manager / end process does not work.
V2.14
I think this is getting very close to becoming a 'Process Explorer' replacement!
@juvera, clicking that opens a browser window and it works for me in the latest version.
V2.17
A couple requests:
* A Startup manager
* Group services in a treeview and arrange them by 'Group type'
* Service description column
* Open handles/open dll files just like process explorer
* 'Single-click tray icon' should be on by default
* Trayicon network history
V2.17
how does this compare to System Explorer?
V2.24
Cause it is a delthi and you can't make the process hacker works untill you install it and when go to c:\program files and copy process hacker 2 folder and data from appdata if you can't find or do not know how to find this place so you can download everything program and then you can find it just type in the search box process hacker and that's it :)
Happy making protables ;)
if you wannt make it hide all source codes from users you can make it with winrar :D
and make it more professional app.
V2.27
Love the "Disk" tab -- frequently when there's a computer slowdown and it's clearly not a processor issue, it's because the hard drive is read/writing some crazy amount of data from antivirus to some background maintenance. Very useful to see what's going on under the hood.
v2.30
"full control over processes, rootkit termination, and DLL controls."
The definition of a rootkit is the OS is unaware of its presence because the rootkit *is* the OS at that point, and it won't let you see it's process so you can wack it.
