Original Press Release:
PC Magazine Releases New Utility TaskPower 2
NEW YORK, Sept. 14 / -- Ziff Davis Internet's PCMag.com, the premier online destination for technology buyers and enthusiasts, today announced the launch of its new premium utility, TaskPower 2. With more unique features and applications, TaskPower 2 is an updated version to one of the most popular utilities from PC Magazine, putting system control directly into a user's hands.
The latest version incorporate features from PCMag.com's powerful EndItAll utility -- allowing users to terminate one or many applications, or their entire system, with the click of a mouse -- and adds performance and networking statistics similar to what's found in Windows Task Manager. Unlike Task Manager, however, TaskPower 2 makes system management easy with plain- English descriptions of applications, processes and resources, and a powerful, intuitive interface that brings all of a system's process information into one easily viewed and managed utility.
"This new version of TaskPower is a fantastic way for a user to receive the combined benefits of two of our most popular utilities, the original TaskPower and EndItAll, in one useful program," said Lance Ulanoff, Editor, PCMag.com. "TaskPower's newest enhancements allow users to even further control their systems."
TaskPower 2 is the latest in a series of new software utilities that Ziff Davis Internet makes available to consumers every month, and is available for purchase at http://go.pcmag.com/taskpower2.
Some of TaskPower 2's many new capabilities include:
o End one or many processes with a single click of a button while keeping your protected programs up and running.
o Shutdown, Power Off, Restart, Log off, Hibernate, or place your computer into Stand By mode directly from within TaskPower -- instead of navigating cumbersome Windows menus. Quickly determine which applications, tasks and services are hogging CPU and memory usage and shut them down if they're unnecessary.
o View DLLs (dynamic link libraries) used by any application or task, allowing users to see exactly what modules an application is using
o Observe network usage and bandwidth
