<description><![CDATA[Really a cool tool to monitor all the core functions and processes..

It should have been a freeware as its similar to the tweaks program with a memory management added to it..

But still a good tool for monitoring internet and network traffic. suits well for a beginner-intermediate level windows user.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well, after all the people saying they actually liked this, I did take a look at it.  It's terrible.  It's slow, the windows don't resize, the columns don't sort, much of what it does is via calling standard Windows command-line utilities, and simply displaying the formatted results.  Significantly less information than comparable utilities (that's an understatement).  AnVir; Microsoft Sysinternals Process Explorer, Process Monitor, and AutoRuns; and Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor stomp it.  My security suite absolutely stomps its Network Connections view, as expected.  The hotkeys require a keyboard hook, updates require Internet access.

The requested restart after installation is for systems that already have the VisualBasic control, MSComCtl.ocx, which it replaces with its own.  Of course, if you already have that installed, you can actually run Clean MemXP prior to restart.

As I've mentioned previously, I don't use any of the marketing fluff (anything related to any kind of "optimization") which AnVir has unfortunately added to counter the similar crap in some of their competitors' products.

#53, Cat, a number of utilities display information about "modules" (DLL's) and (open) registry keys (handles).  AnVir does (although I have the full version, check their website for limitations of the free version), Microsoft Sysinternals Process Explorer does.  If you really want to see what a process does, use Process Monitor.

#62-63, BillW50, you should look at some real utilities, several of which I mentioned back at comment #2.

#41, WeyrleaderZor, #70, TheBlindBat, regarding my comment #49, I didn't take the time to go into detail about pagefiles, I've posted detailed information previously.  I use multiple (on different physical drives) fully defragmented fixed-size pagefiles, and I don't let Vista delete them.  Windows will use the pagefile on another drive if the current drive is busy.  It's easy to see this in action with the Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installs simple enough.  

Only thing it does not report correct amount of memory.  It tells me "Total physical Memory 0 mb" and "Free physical memory -1063."

I have 4 gigs of ram on xp pro 64.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#41, what kind of load of misinformation is that? You even managed to confuse the experienced users, even if only for a moment.

Virtual memory, or VMem as you put it, is not to be confused with physical RAM, which is what this utility "defragments".

Windows keeps a dedicated file on the hard drive for virtual memory. While it can grow and shrink if you let it (bad move as I'll explain in a moment) and this can get fragmented, this has nothing to do with this utility nor does this utility do anything to affect that. The "fragmented" state of RAM will not affect anything when it's swapped out or in.

As for page files, the best way to prevent fragmentation is to NOT let Windows manage it. Set it to a fixed size (usually about 1.5x or 2x your physical memory--or just use the recommended size) as the minimum and the maximum size. However, you can get a permanently fragmented page file doing this so use a utility (sysinternals has one for XP) that will defragment your page (swap) file, and, once done, it'll stay defragmented.

While placing the page file (fixed size) on another partition may prevent it from being fragmented in the first place (if it's a new or blank partition), you will gain no other benefit from this if the partition is on the same physical hard drive. Placing your page file on a different hard drive than where Windows is will, however,  help performance.

Anyway, Windows manages fragmented memory as it needs to. It will move physical memory around when it deems it necessary but not before. That's one of the functions of the memory manager. Just because some cute utility shows fragmented memory, this is not a 'problem' and does not indicate any performance loss. Windows will rearrange it when it needs to.

In this case, keep your fingers out of the workings of the operating system when you don't need to and shouldn't be fiddling there. These utilities are not going to benefit you and may even mess things up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This program is really sort of cool.  The great thing about it, IMHO, is the easy access to various other programs in Windows.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Disregard comment number 56...!!!!!! Brain Freeze!!

It looks like a cute little program for the less educated computer geeks out there.  Provides a lot of info quickly.

Sys Internals is still the best!

<description><![CDATA[Eye Candy, Fluff, something else to eat system resources when all it's
"useable" functionality is already imbedded in most O/S's, especially
(ugh)VISTA.  Defrag Physical Memory??  Really???  That would be a
neat trick because physical memory is contiguous simply because of
the operating system addressability.  CleanMem XP isn't worth the time and effort to install it, discover the truth, and delete it.
  I'm a systems research &amp; developer and I would stay away from this one.]]></description>
