It's called Advanced Task Killer Pro. It seems to work well.

I use this as well.

Just thought everyone would like to know that valuable piece of information.

Yup. I also have an automatic task killer that kills everything that isn't a system task, every few minutes. It's a serious battery saver.

Ty Paul, i've just downloaded one of these, and an ad killer.

Make sure you select the task killer to be one of the exceptions or it will kill itself and not do you much good. Seriously. It does that.

Free Apps Drain Smartphone Energy On 'Advertising Modules'

Bastards!

That's anti Android propaganda IMO

I use ad blockers and rarely see ads on my phone. I understand that task killers are unnecesssary - the o/s manages those by itself. If I get battery drain the app will go.

Nice. Those of us in software design would call this "a feature of dubious merit".

[popeyespappy]

Those of us who purchase software with features of dubious merit just call it a system failure.

There are a few firewall products out there that still use a network connection to check whether their license info is correct. So all you have to do is enter a phoney license, and then make the product block itself from checking the license server.

Anyone remember when telephones were just used for talking to people?

Um, yes.

Old fuck that I am.

I even remember when you shared a single line with a couple of your neighbors....
