An earlier version was a previous giveaway (I purchased a license for the Pro version). #75, J-Man, and others reporting problems with some applications, go to Tools, Options, Windows Usability, Windows Enhancement, System Menu and Dialogs, and clear "Show additional icons in the titles of windows". As #72, mike, noted, their forum indicates that some (presumably old) systems experience problems with sound and video files due to S.M.A.R.T monitoring. Use Tools, Options, Program Settings, Tray Icons and Menu, Tray Icons, and clear the (display) Disk icon (or at least Disk temperature in the Combined Icon if you're using that). Or right-click AnVir's tray icon(s), select Tray Icons, and do the same thing. #77, Irha, as I posted in comment #19, there are differences between AnVir and Process Explorer. I also noted that AnVir used to add a handy "Open AnVir" or similar entry to the system menu of applications, which would open AnVir to the window's process, but that feature has unfortunately been dropped. AnVir will display the process tree. Select the Processes tab, then select (on the main menu, not the buttons) View, Process Tree. For terminating processes, Kill Process Tree is also available. AnVir deals with locked files by letting you identify the process which is locking them, and kill the process if necessary (freeing a handle of a running process is a bad idea, but of course, a forced termination of the process is also bad). Process Explorer has lots of features which AnVir doesn't, and AnVir has lots of features which Process Explorer doesn't. People forget that Windows Task Manager (at least on Vista) has a few features which neither AnVir nor Process Explorer have. Autoruns is generally the best option for dealing with startup items, however, AnVir has startup-related features which Autoruns doesn't, and AnVir monitors startup items. #85, Lu Hulu, delayed startup items handled by one utility will not show up as delayed startup items in another. That's because delayed startup is a feature of the utility, not Windows. #99, leemreay, I've upgraded AnVir previously, so I didn't trace 6.1 (as I stated, I have the Security Suite and upgraded several days before this giveaway), but as I noted in comment #33, it's possible that AnVir may be applying their crappy "Tweaks" (disabling Windows error reporting is one, and is a terrible idea). I'll be mad if they did that, but since I didn't trace 6.1, I can't say for sure. Some other giveaways damage settings, but I trace those. #101, JerryMeandering, sorting Startup items by Delayed Startup still works, but it lists disabled items first. I guess I really don't understand your issue, terminating AnVir before your delayed items start will stop them from starting. For people complaining about colors (per-tab), View, Text Colors lets you change what's colored. Panels can be resized, closed, etc. Also, Tools, Options, Program Settings, Advanced, Appearance lets you change things. For people complaining about system slowdown over time with AnVir 6.1, I noted that in comment #19. Some earlier versions of AnVir had that problem, but later versions fixed it, so they should be able to fix that. As I stated, you can simply close and restart AnVir. I find the problem is exacerbated by browsing, the same as the earlier versions with this problem.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:33:59 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101595 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101594 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:57:24 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101594 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101593 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:50:00 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101593 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101592 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:21:03 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/anvir-task-manager-6-1-0/#comment-101592
