Mistakes to avoid when using tuPoz

tuPoz is a small Windows process‑management utility (last seen ~v2.0.0.3) that lists running processes and can terminate them — including batch kills by name — and optionally delete the corresponding executable. Mistakes to avoid when using tuPoz:

• Killing system processes: Don’t terminate processes you don’t recognize; stopping critical Windows services or system processes can cause instability or crashes.
• Batch-killing by partial name: Avoid broad name matches (wildcards/partial queries) unless you’re sure — you may close multiple unrelated processes.
• Using “terminate and delete” casually: Deleting executables can remove needed programs or break apps; back up files and confirm paths before deleting.
• Running without admin when needed: Some actions require elevated rights; running without admin may produce errors or incomplete results — but only run with admin when necessary and from trusted sources.
• Ignoring malware signs: If tuPoz detects many identical suspicious processes, investigate with antivirus/anti-malware first rather than mass-killing/deleting, which can hide traces.
• Not verifying source/version: Only download from a reputable source; old/untrusted builds can contain malware.
• No backups or restore plan: Have system restore or backups before making mass changes to processes or deleting executables.
• Closing before saving work: Always save documents and close user apps normally first — forced termination can cause data loss.

If you want, I can convert this into a short checklist or quick reference you can keep while using tuPoz.
