Process Modules

Apart from the visual design you get to work with in every program, there’s also one or more components running in the background, known as processes, and even Windows has a bunch of these. For better inspection, Process Modules allows you to explore each process to analyze DLL dependencies, load, and unload custom modules.

On the one hand, the application requires no installation in order to function, giving you the freedom to use on other computer directly from a USB flash drive. Moreover, system registry entries don’t really need to be modified in the process, so you don’t have to worry about the health status of the target PC.

All the application has to offer can be found in a classic window frame, with most of the space reserved for navigation. The list is similar to that of the Task Manager process tab, but this is only because it’s exactly what it represents.

It’s best to run the application with administrator privileges, so it can read all running processes without any issues. What’s more, a refresh option is at your disposal in case new processes start in the meantime. Unfortunately, there’s no alert to show you new entries, or an automatic refresh function.

A process can be expanded to reveal all of its dependencies. These are nothing more than DLL files, which you can unload, but there’s also the option to inject custom DLL files inside a running process. An additional option can be used to show full path of processes and modules. This comes in handy for manually tracking down potentially harmful components to get them removed from your PC.

Bottom line is that closing a process might do more harm than good, and managing its modules might be the right alternative. Process Modules helps you do just that in an intuitive environment. All processes are shown in a clear tree view, with the possibility to load, and unload modules at your fingertips.
