User Reviews

  • Hands-down the #1 app I install on ANY new Windows installation (since, oh... 15 years ago?). CANNOT live without it. Yes, sysinternals' process explorer is as good (UX is better here, though) but I decided to try PH (before it was PH2) one day and never went back. Ignore the FOOLS who think this is a virus or malware because they don't understand why it would be marked as such. This is powerful software, and that's why you will see false reports. Anyway, it's best those users stay away, but it sucks that their ratings bring down this app's score (which, to the neckbeard who reviewed in 2022, DOES matter). Anyway, PH2 still works fine, for the most part, but System Informer is HERE and it's the new version of this app. It has more functionality (ie. a tab for device manager and firewall, if you want) and has a dark mode, but still looks/works the same. Overall, this is probably my FAVORITE SOFTWARE OF ALL TIME, and I don't even understand half of what it can do (VERY VERY few ppl understand Windows internals at such a level). I'm just saying this to show it's RIDICULOUSLY useful even if you don't understand MOST of what it is capable of. ;)
  • I created an account just to review this product if that tells you anything of how good it is I’m impressed. It’s really great just what the doctor ordered. I’ve been going through hacking situation for over 3 1/2 years this so far has been a single best tool that I’ve just opened up and used and it works, and I can kill processes that I’d want to kill it tells you all the dirty little information about things that you wanna know it doesn’t make it all confusing and contrived and then you gotta download this reader to get this reader to uncompress and unpack this and then you know Read it’s ridiculous. What you have to go through just to try to understand what the device in front of you is doing and you own the device it’s ridiculous. It should be very straightforward. Hey this process is doing this. This process is doing that, but it isn’t most people if they start to get into DLLs will really really get frustrated and angry when they figure out that they’re just a different way to run a program, but nobody has any clue what it’s actually doing and if you’re going through a hacking situation, I guarantee they’re using that against you along with masking all of their code so you can’t read it even if you wanted to unless you have their special key that allows you to then you read what the code is saying it’s all such bulls***. This product is awesome. I highly recommended. It takes a lot of that crap out of it sorry for the language.
  • Gooooooood
  • Detected by Fortnite (Maybe is the name) when it is close! VERY difficult to uninstall, i need to use MalwareBytes to remove the files from this software... No support site available
  • A check on Virus Total alerted me. 31 security vendors and 2 sandboxes flagged this software as harmful
