The Good
* Has all the features of Windows Task Manager.
* Monitors startup/autorun programs and notify the user if a new startup program has been added.
* Monitors Windows services and notify the user if a non-Microsoft service has been added.
* Monitors Internet Explorer’s homepage and inform the user if a program tries to change IE’s homepage.
* Monitors Internet Explorer addons, BHQs, toolbars, etc. and inform the user if a new one has been added.
* Aside from monitoring and notifying, has a full startup/autorun program manager including the ability to delay starts.
* “Auto-block” startup programs that continually add themselves to the startup list even though you blocked them the first time.
* Allow you to generate a “HiJack This” log.
* Estimates security risk for each program/process.
* Has an option to check a file with VirusTotal.com
* Has system tray icons to show CPU usage, disk load, RAM usage, and network traffic.
* Has ‘tweak’ XP/Vista features.
* Has automatic CPU balancing/controlling and automatic memory cleaning features.
* Can hide program windows, minimize to system tray, make floating icon, and change transparency.
The Bad
* Significant discrepancy between the CPU/RAM usage per program reported by AnVir Task Manager and that reported by Windows Task Manager.
* Doesn’t use up too many resources, relatively speaking, but interface has some minor lag now and then.
* “Windows Tweaker” does not seem to identify which windows you are running (i.e. still shows “XP tweaks” if you aren’t on XP).

I’m running this program on an XP box. It’s the swiss army knife of utilities. Recommended. (Though there are some things a novice wouldn’t understand.)
I installed easily in Vista Home Basic 64B and it’s running smoothly. The software gives you a lot of information in a better way than default Task Manager. It also puts icons in your tray for direct monitoring of main parameters.
As long as I see it, very recommendable to give it a try.
