by a virus, a program or system crash, or a failure of the
magnetic media. Ideally backups are stored on separate media.

System
Monitor:
Tracking Software is used to monitor computer activity.
System Monitor range in capabilities but may record some
or all of the following: keystrokes, screen captures, e-mails,
chat room conversations, instant messages, Web sites visited,
programs run, time spent on Web sites or using programs,
or usernames, passwords or other types of data in transit.
The information is typically either stored for later retrieval
or transmitted to the remote process or person employing
the Monitor.

White list:
The processes listed in white list will be permitted to
use physical memory unlimitedly. When you free up memory
automatically, the memory used by these processes in white
list will not be freed while memory used by the processes
unlisted in White list will be freed. Just add frequently
used processes in White list.
|
|
Auto list:
Auto list can be considered as an intelligent White List; however, it is not edited manually by user, but generated
and maintained by the process automatically. The unique
intelligent learn module of Memory Improve Ultimate will learn
user's habit constantly, analyze and recognize the applications
used by user, then add these frequently used applications
into Smart List automatically.

|
Black list:
The memory used by processes listed in black list will be
released directly when you perform "Free up memory" operation.
|
|
Idle list:
Idle List can be considered as a dynamic Black List. If
the usage of a process is "0", the process will be added
into Idle List automatically. The memory used by processes
listed in idle list will be released. Data in Idle List
is dynamic and does not need editing.
|
|
Processes:
While the term "program" refers to an executable
code (the exe file for MS Word, for example), a process
is a program that is being executed. When you start a program
in Windows, the executable will be loaded into RAM. Windows
will then add the new process to its internal process list
and make sure the process receives some CPU time as well
as memory and other resources.
