FileInspect.com – The Windows Process Library With A Personal Touch

If you are an average Windows user, then I’m sure you can’t say what exactly each process does when they take a quick look at the Windows Task Manager. Of course, you will recognize some processes, but will need to spend a lot of time on Google and forums to research others. This can prove especially difficult if your computer is infected and some processes are run by malware.

Even fewer people know how to fix process-related errors. Of course, there is a number of websites that offer general processes descriptions (usually automatically generated and, to tell you the truth, not really useful if you are trying to fix errors). So, hi again Google and forums –you are forced to spend more time researching.

File Inspect Library Beta is a new Windows process library with a different approach.

Not only does the site provide general process descriptions, but it also offers tips and fixes for possible problems. If you go to www.fileinspect.com and do a search for Windows Service Host Process, svchost.exe, you will find a very informative article that explains what is svchost.exe, what it does, and how to fix high svchost CPU usage.

Users can help improve the website by rating processes (safe-unsafe-dangerous), leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing what they know about process-related errors and how to fix them.

Good news for Vista and Windows 7 users - you can download a small free tool called Fileinspect Sidebar Gadget.

This sidebar tool will show you the most resource-heavy processes running on your system. This is especially useful if you don’t want to have the Task Manager opened all the time, but still want to know what’s going on. And if you want to see a detailed description of a single process, you can click on the magnifying glass sign and get all the information you need.

The site is still in Beta, so not all processes have a detailed article describing them – most of the descriptions are still generic. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Fileinspect.com developers are trying to make the site more informative and helpful than other similar websites.
