Q: Will this replace my Antivirus?
Not exactly—it makes it better. Traditional antiviruses scan files on your hard drive, but clever malware often hides completely in your active memory (RAM) where scanners can't see it. Process Sentinel watches your active memory 24/7. When combined with Windows Defender, your PC becomes virtually impenetrable.
Q: Is it safe for someone who isn't "tech-savvy"?
Absolutely. We built Sentinel specifically for everyday users. You don't need to understand code or system architecture. The dashboard uses simple color-coding (Green is safe, Red is suspicious). If you aren't sure what a program is, you just click the "Ask AI" button and it tells you what to do in plain English.
Q: How do I use the "Gamer Mode" (Core Isolation)?
If a background program is causing your game to lag or stutter, simply right-click it in the Sentinel dashboard and select "Isolate Core 0". This forces that annoying background program to only use a tiny fraction of your CPU, instantly giving 90% of your PC's power back to your game.
Q: What does "Nuclear Eradication" (Kill Tree) actually do?
When malware infects your computer, it often creates hidden "child" processes. If you just close the main program, the children instantly restart it. Nuclear Eradication solves this. With one click, Sentinel hunts down every single child process, destroys them, and then destroys the parent program—permanently breaking the cycle.
Q: Does Process Sentinel collect my data?
Never. Sentinel runs 100% locally on your computer. There are no accounts to create, no tracking cookies, and no data sent back to our servers. Your privacy is our absolute priority. You can even run the software completely offline without an internet connection.
Q: What's the difference between Free and Pro?
The core monitoring features are free forever — Smart Snapshots, baseline diffing, behavioral classification, basic process management, and the beautiful dashboard. Pro surgical tools (Recursive Kill-Tree, Process Throttling, Core Isolation, Suspend/Resume) are available for a one-time $14.99 lifetime purchase. You can try every Pro feature 3 times for free before deciding. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, ever.
