PC Pitstop Libraries > Process Library
Welcome to the PC Pitstop Process Library. We have an extensive list of the most common processes currently running on PCs. Use this library to inspect the safety of your running processes on a regular basis.

Top Running Process Library

Running processes can significantly impact the performance of your PC, especially if they are malicious or capturing information about your computer usage without your knowledge. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up your Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. If any of the running processes do not look familiar to you, look them up in our library.



Click here to run our free scan and see if your computer's processes are safe. To find out how to make your computer faster, try running our Free PC Matic Scan.
