What's Running 3.0
At the heart of What's Running is a Task Manager-type display of all the processes running on your PC. Clicking a process will display a graph showing its recent RAM, CPU and I/O activity great for identifying programs that are hogging your system resources.

If you don't recognise a process, right-clicking it reveals a 'Check online' option that compares its name to an online database and will usually give you more details about it.
What's Running crams in plenty of functionality. Its tabbed interface shows you running services, loaded drivers and DLLs open internet and network connections, start-up programs and basic system information. The program even provides a snapshot feature to save all this information.
You could set a baseline snapshot this month, say, then compare it with another next month to see what's changed. This is helpful if you're trying to find out why your system has suddenly become unstable.
What's Running has one or two problems: we found the interface occasionally confusing and it won't list the files, Registry keys and other Windows objects opened by your processes. The program does make it very easy to access a great deal of useful system information, though, and it's definitely worth a look.
