Just a late PS:
I’ve been using Avera for about a year now with NO false positive matches to date, even on some of my configuration tools that ALWAYS get listed as malicious. Rated #2 and #3 in the standard AV labs tests for true detection, #3 for preemptive catches, and #1 in false positives errors; scoring 0 reports in the standard test and 1 error in the battery test.

AVG has a huge following as well, it’s what I used in the past but I got tired of the false flags on development tools.

@34, 35, David:

FOTIS software and Webroot SpySweeper do not play nice together…

thank you for the confirmation, & for saving me the time of trying to install today…

FOTIS continues to disappoint by not addressing this problem…

As far as monitoring software goes:
I found little to complain about this tool. It’s a little more detailed than, say, task-manager; but unless you’re running VM setups and testing software and hardware configurations there’s little that the average user will find in ANY of these types of programs that is of any use to them; on a day-to-day setup.

On that VM note, this doesn’t seem to play well with most virtual setups. It continues to monitor the actual system, even when loaded in a sandbox version of Windows.

Doesn’t run at all on Wine.

For some reason it doesn’t support multi-cpu monitoring (2x PnIIx4 965). It only shows one set of 4, not all 8.

In all, nothing bad, nothing special. Just another TM replacement.

just a quick off-site note: Those of you who are still PAYING excessively for faux-AV software from Semantic/Norton and McAfee are destined to find all sorts of nonsense false positives. There’s a reason those two apps fell in the bottom 10% of AV testing scores for false-positive errors.

OK, I give up. Five tries to post and nothing.

Instead, here is a link to the review file:

SysRsrcs Mngr10.4 Review-JB25.txt

Download it to your desktop.

Maybe at least the summary comments will post:

SysResource Manager 10.4 installed without any problems (WinXP)

On the plus side, SRM collects a lot of disparate functions & info all in one place.
On the negative side, almost all of the info is better found &/or controlled by other freeware applications.
The one unique feature that was intriguing – display of Registry Keys used by selectable applications – was crippled and next to useless.

Overall, it is worth today’s price but not much more.

Alternate freeware links and detailed comments are in the file.

#36 here. I should have done the usual before posting. I rebooted my machine, downloaded it again, and ran it as administrator the first time. It runs just fine now.
