CastleCops Program List

December 20, 2007

I get a strange message about a program crashing. I don’t recognize its name (swdsvc.exe). Is it legit or not? When I google it, I don’t know if I should trust the web-sites that come up any more than the mysterious executable. What to do?

CastleCops keeps very valuable lists of programs and things you’d expect to find on your PC, and those you don’t.

Hint: Use the search box. There are a lot of entries.

(As it turns out, swdsvc.exe is SpyWareDoctor.)

Update 1/26/2009: Castlecops’ useful information is now at SystemLookup.com.
