Heavyweight Triage Diagnostics

Cannibalizing the best tools from *Sysinternals*, *Process Explorer*, and *Process Lasso*, Sentinel includes zero-overhead forensic actions:

Suspend & Resume:

Immediately freeze (psutil.suspend()) a suspected malware payload directly in RAM. It stops executing, but remains alive for documentation and debugging.

Auto-Throttle (Zero-Priority):

Right-click loud background updaters to Throttle them. Sentinel drops their Windows OS affinity to 0x0040 (IDLE), starving them of CPU cycles unless your PC is doing absolutely nothing else.

Core Isolation (Affinity Locking):

Force heavy parallel processes strictly onto CPU Core 0 (*Isolate*). Protects your gaming or render threads from being hijacked by an over-eager antivirus scan.

BSOD Protection Gate:

Attempting to kill protected internal system processes (csrss.exe, lsass.exe, smss.exe) throws a hard exception, preventing users from accidentally crashing their own machine.

Recursive Kill-Tree Execution:

If a virus spawns 10 payloads, hitting Kill Tree systematically crawls down the spawn tree and murders the children before gracefully killing the mother, preventing respawn loops.
