• Powerful process termination that bypasses security software and rootkits.
• View, edit and control services, including those not shown by the Services console.
• View and close network connections.
• Starts up almost instantly, unlike other programs.

Here's how simple it is to kill a process using Process Hacker.
Step 1: Download and Start Process Hacker
Step 2: Found a ProcessThat You Would Like To Terminate
In my case I would like to terminate my Yahoo Messenger since the program is using too much of my Internet Power as shown by Process Hacker.
Once you've found a memory hungry process right-click on it and Choose Teminate.
That's it. You just killed a process. However keep in mind that if the process is part of your start-up programs list you will have to delete or disable the program from running every time you start your PC. Click here to see how it's done.
As you can see Process Hacker is much more powerful task explorer than the build in Task Manager in Windows 7. So the next time yout computer crashes and the task manger refuse to kill the problematic process just use Process Hacker.
