When your computer starts behaving erratically or running unusually slow, the standard Windows tools often fail to provide the answers you need. Security Task Manager steps in where the default Task Manager leaves off, offering a detailed X-ray view of every active process on your system. Developed by Neuber Software, this specialized utility analyzes running applications to expose potential threats, hidden spyware, and performance drains that typically fly under the radar. With the release of version 3.2 in October 2025, the software now incorporates advanced analysis techniques to help you distinguish between essential system files and disguised malware.
Key Features
- Security Risk Rating: Unlike standard tools that just list names, this feature assigns a specific risk score (0-100%) to every running process. The rating relies on behavioral analysis and code inspection rather than just signature files, allowing you to spot potential zero-day threats or unknown surveillance software immediately.
- AI-Powered System Analysis: The latest update introduces intelligent scanning that identifies performance bottlenecks and stability issues. This function automatically highlights software slowing down your PC, checks for outdated drivers, and provides clear, non-technical recommendations for fixing internal errors.
- SpyProtector Integration: This included privacy tool actively blocks keyboard and mouse monitoring attempts, preventing keyloggers from capturing your passwords. It also monitors the registry for unauthorized changes and helps you erase usage tracks, such as internet history and temporary files.
- Hidden Process Detection: The software reveals tasks that attempt to hide from the standard Windows Task Manager. It specifically flags processes containing embedded hidden functions, such as stealth browser supervision, keyboard hooks, or DLL injections, giving you total visibility over your environment.
- Multi-Engine Virus Scan: You can verify any suspicious file instantly by checking it against over 40 known antivirus databases. This secondary opinion is crucial when you are unsure if a high-risk process is a false positive or a genuine infection.
Use Cases
This tool is ideal for home users dealing with a sluggish PC who suspect a malware infection that their primary antivirus missed. It also serves system administrators and advanced users who need to debug inexplicable crashes or identify specific background processes that are secretly consuming bandwidth and CPU resources on Windows 11, 10, or older systems like Windows 7 and XP.
By focusing on behavioral risk rather than just file names, Security Task Manager offers a layer of transparency and control that transforms how you manage system health and privacy.
Version 3.2 — October 2025
