handy security tool

worth noting that I wasn't promoting this tool as anything other than potentially useful, nor did I vouch for it's effectiveness.

from the feedback it sounds like there might some issue with Win7 64 - a bit of research should confirm or deny that (let us know what you find out) 

the idea of being able to identify what's behind those processes is sound and useful (those processes have bugged me for years), but dumping it on the basis of cross promotion seems a little shortsighted

YMMV
