    i’ve renewed eset smart security for the second time. it’s an invaluable tool for windows. along with sysinspector it comes with sysrescue. after being infected with coolwebsearch which shut down norton antivirus and took over my computer i was on a quest to find the best in windows security. after trying everything on the market i’ve found eset to be the only security product worth using.
    back to the topic, sysinspector is an excellent tool. the ability to see every thing running and the level of importance makes this a fairly simple program to read but a little knowledge is helpful knowing what each process does.
