NANY 2014 Release: Process Piglet
Scott_Y:
Process Piglet doesn't report processes such as svchost.exe and MsMpEng.exe (MS Security Essentials). I'm curious why that may be. Thanks.
mouser:
It should; it does here.
One thing to remember is that when piglet starts up it checks the memory use of these processes, and thereafter reports when they grow significantly beyond their initial memory use.
If that doesn't clarify the issue, give me some more details regarding what you think it should be doing and what it isn't doing.

Quick guess is that those progs remain stable in memory though at a bad CPU use when they misbehave. I haven't bothered to check MsSecEss memory wise, but CPU wise could be a good feature because it def gets grouchy when I open a folder with 47 shortcuts and it has to resolve them, it freaks out. (MsSecEss)

Read this with some interest, and I've shoved The Piglet onto my netbook to see how it behaves.
Neat little program. (And I also think the name, and the associated notifications, are a tiny bit fabulous: "Process firefox.exe has pigged out!" I think this is the first notification I've seen that's really made me smile since an old DOS program gave me "Unknown error: get drunk!")
I'd like to cast a vote for leaving it separate to Process Tamer: I use Process Lasso to look after cpu usage but Piglet's a useful adjunct to it, whereas I wouldn't want to risk running PL and PT alongside each other...
