Find out more about unknown running processes

Not sure what that strange active process is doing on your computer? You can find more information about it with this simple tool.

What's my computer doing? is the self-explanatory name of an app that analyzes any currently active process on your computer and displays detailed information about it: complete installation path, developer, version number and more.

What's my computer doing? lists the processes in real time and also provides you with tools to terminate the process, close the program or even uninstall it from your system. You can also search for extended information on Google, and check the file's reliability in Kaspersky and VirusTotal.

It may not be as detailed as other similar file analysis tools, but What's my computer doing? does what it says on the tin. On the downside, the fact that the program's interface can't be resized is a bit annoying.

The previous version worked fine. The latest version will not run.. The latest version doesn't work with Windows 7. I had to go back to version 1.05

Useful prog. I found this to be very easy to download and use. Very helpful to be able to see what processes were active and slowing down the machine and resulted in me removing several old programs that were active but no longer used by me. Pros: Quick and easy to use. Cons: Single size screen

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
