Program Killer

Program Killer is a small software application designed with a single goal in mind: to help you kill the user-defined running process with minimal effort.

Unobtrusive running mode

The tool runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals only a few configuration settings to play with. Everything is kept as simple and clear as possible, so even rookies can master the entire operation on the fly.

Simple-to-trigger actions

Program Killer gives you the possibility to activate the operation by simply performing a simple left-click mouse operation on the program’s icon from the system tray or selecting the option “KILL!” from its context menu.
The utility automatically applies a red border when you hover the mouse cursor over running processes and displays a popup notification panel where you can view the name of the selected process.
There’s support for only a few configuration settings that allow you to assign a keyboard shortcut for triggering the killing process and enable or disable the highlight mode when you hover the mouse cursor over a running program.

Performance

Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to configure the dedicated parameters, even less experienced users can learn to set up the entire process in no time. Tests revealed that Program Killer carries out a task quickly and without hampering your computer performance.
On the downside, the utility doesn’t list all running processes in the primary panel and let you terminate all of them with just one click.

Bottom line

All in all, Program Killer offers a simple yet efficient software solution when it comes to helping you kill the selected running process with just one click.
