This GAOTD does the job quite well, but if you had installed "Process Lasso" when it was offered here for FREE a few weeks ago, you don't need this tool because "Process Lasso" is far superior in my view.
It comes with a nice auto-start and services module, which helps you get rid of unneeded services, but the freeware and portable app " " does the same and even more for FREE (besides award-winning WinPatrol, of course), since it can even detect malicious rootkit services hidden behind legitimate Windows services running Local System privileges:

Overall today's giveaway is a good product, but in my opinion this kind of programs are very effective only for old machines with old and slow CPU, so if you have a DUAL CORE or a QUADCORE PC/LAPTOP just skip it!!

BEST FREE ALTERNATIVES

* (Portable) Actual Booster
As the award winning "Process Lasso" and this GAOTD this magic tiny cool FREE tool can dramatically optimize your PC performance, making your system faster and more stable, by automatically allocating the majority of your system resources (CPU power, RAM etc...) to the currently active applications or games.
Works like magic in my Windows 7 Ultimate second machine!!

Don't expect too much of this program; most programs cannot run across all cores as the compilers have no idea the sequence of events, where they really come into their own is when the program handles large amounts of data such as video.
In this type of scenario the data can be split into chunks and the operations performed on the data.

Personally I'm having trouble getting this program to run, possibly because I blocked certain aspects of it with Winpatrol.

Warning, this program requires your working email for registration.
Then expect multiple "personal upgrade offers" from Ashampoo every week.

Win XP SP3

I already have Process Lasso Pro v6502 which appears to do the same thing.

Does anyone have a comparison of the two which is best, and can you install Ashampoo Core Tuner 2 Ver.2.01 and Process Lasso without any conflict ?
