One thing I believe Spybot Search & Dest. does better than MMST does with
Windows Task Manger is to list processes and context them. Spybot has this
useful process context list under Tools>Process List. It lists the file
path of the processes and Windoxs XP TM does not--one reason that free
Spybot does a better job than Windows Professional Task Manager of IDing
processes. Of course you can google them or context them at a site like
Uniblue (formerly LIUtilities.

MSFT could do a far better job of contexting processes for people and then
there wouldn't be so much time wasted by people worrying and posting on NGs
that a process that is a perfectly benign Windows or Logitch MX 1000 or
Acronis process could be a "Trojan" or less harmful malware. This could be
included under the File Menu as well as Andre's useful suggestion of a
Spyware list. When the AS utility is updated, the list could be as well.
I have no idea if the Longhorn team is planning to make Longhorn Windows
Taskmanager close to the useful process managing tool it could be when those
choppers take off in 2006. Let's hope.
