Spacetornado Killer helps you end multiple processes with minimal fuss

Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Windows x64

Task Manager is an extremely handy tool, but it does lack a few features that would make it even more useful. Say, for example, the ability to control + click or shift + click to quickly select multiple processes you want to terminate.

Like so many tiny omissions in Windows, there's a free utility which steps in nicely to add that missing functionality.

Spacetornado Killer is a tiny (44KB) portable application with a single purpose - to kill a group of processes in as few clicks as possible. Say I wanted to make all those Chrome.exe's over there. Click the top one, hold shift, click the bottom one, and then press F4. Nice! No confirmations to get in the way, just processes-whacking goodness.

To do the same thing in Task Manager would have taken more than two dozen clicks.

This is a great app for lazy efficiency-minded technicians to keep handy on a USB flash drive.
