Automatic process killer that can kill multiple system process at once.

Auto Kill Any Process is a utility application which can kill processes running on your Windows PC.

The program provides some customization options and can add items to a "Hitlist" which keeps an eye on applications you have decided to keep at bay.

The user interface provides tabs which can browse between the different functions Auto Kill Any Process offers: Adding running processes can be done on the second tab while editing existing hitlists can be done on the third tab.

Populating the hitlist from currently running processes is simple. The lists can then be saved to certain locations such as your hard drive or elsewhere.

A useful feature of Auto Kill Any Process is its ability to automatically close hanging processes. It can also be configured to kill programs on startup which are slow.

When keeping Auto Kill Any Process running in the background, it can easily keep the PC running smoothly by dealing with annoying or slow applications (processes).
