Welcome to 'Bugslayers R Us'. Well, we've been online for a little while now. Thanks to everyone who sent in feedback. Hey, maybe someday soon this will be more than just one page! That is, when the web-impaired site managers here are not as impaired as they currently are. Well, the rest of us aren't holding our breaths!
October 27, 2004 Process Cop version 1.51 available.
October 18, 2004 A critical update of Process Cop (ProcCop) is now available : Version 1.5. This fixes a bug in the Windows XP compatibility portion.
September 24, 2004 New... The latest utility that joins the ranks is Thread Monitor (ThreadMon). Provides a detailed view of all threads in the system.
September 3, 2004 We'd like to point your attention to the new utility available at the top of the list below. The Process Cop (ProcCop). Latest in our line of published Windows(R) system utilities. And not only that, it's the first utility from us that has the Immortal(R) feature. "What's that?" you may ask. Well, what's the most popular attribute of immortals? The next breaking news is that ProcCop is also the first utility to include the new Cloak(R) feature. And for the final note : In time, we will republish some utilities previously released by our associates Hyper Operating Systems. And the utilities, here they are...

Thread
Monitor (ThreadMon)
~ Double-clicking on a thread will popup the Thread Properties dialog ~ Auto Scroll will cause the list to ensure that newly created threads are visible ~ Items highlighted in green indicate that they are being created ~ Items highlighted in red indicate that they are exiting ~ The icon for threads is a 'spool of thread'. A green color spool indicates a running thread, and a red color spool indicates a waiting or blocked thread ~ Although a Kill thread feature is provided, killing a thread that one did not create, or write is not recommended as it may cause unpredictable and undesirable effects The next version of ThreadMon will include 'thread creation notification' techniques, so that threads that start and end in between refreshes will be displayed.

Process
Cop (ProcCop) Well, with ProcCop, you can decide what apps can/cannot be launched, and what processes can/cannot launch apps in your system! Without further delay, and we're happy to say, in joint-R&D with HOS, let's get to the utility. The 'Filters' property-page in the 'Settings' dialog will describe how the filters basically work. The filters are what determines application launching. Therefore, if no filters are set, ProcCop will function as a process creation monitor. The only other tricky thing about it is the 'Close' box [X] will minimize the main log window. Minimizing to the system tray is available from the 'File' menu. We will make available some standard filters for the general user soon. Do check this column again. Last
but not least, we would like say a big Thank You to KahFui

Memory
Allocation Monitor (MemAllocMon) The last utility so far to be released by HOS, gives a more intimate look into an application's memory usage. MemAllocMon does so by monitoring a process's usage of the Win32 Memory Management functions. This includes the arguments passed in, and the results from the calls. You can choose to monitor any of the 'families' of the Win32 Memory Management functions. It also includes some nifty on-the-fly memory usage difference values, and an 'analysis' feature that lists un-released allocations. Instructions are included in the download.

File
Deletion Monitor (FileXMon) FileXMon is a file deletion monitoring and protection utility for Windows NT based operating systems. Through the use of protection filters, you can specify what files in your system cannot be deleted, and you can also specify what processes can or cannot delete files. A most useful utility to have enabled while opening E-Mails and its attachments, and also while running programs downloaded from the internet as it is common for viruses and Trojan horse programs to delete files. FileXMon will display the files (under protection) that have deletion attempts made on them along with the process that tried to delete it. The files that appear in the display are not deleted.
