Protect Process - Madara-Uchiha - 07-19-2013
Hey,
I am looking for a snippet which preotects my process, like when trying to kill it in the taskmanager, I like to get the message:
"Access denied, unable to terminate process".
It should not cause a BSOD.
All other snippets I tried before causes a BSOD.
Anyone have an idea? :o

Hope you find your answer, I use a Mac so I have no idea.

I'm not entirely sure you can just prevent a process from being closed.
But invasive programs usually have a main program that hides away, disguised as another program, and reopens the program itself should it be closed.
Perhaps do some research from there?

There is a huge problem with that. That is highly unprofessional(that's what some people say). Try to kill your antiviruses process and respond.

Like God says the method he describes work as a charm as long as you time it correctly.

I mean, it's probably not the best way, but you could always just restart the program in the FormClosing() event.

You could do it with a traditional CMD command while you've taken full ownership or all the files needed. I'm sure most anti-virus programs are going to stop you, might look into the security of TuneUp? Their processes are protected and there's only 1 way to terminate their processes, which I know :>.

That works when I am closing it with red cross on the form, but when trying to kill it via Taskmanager it does not reopen.

Might take a look into this (I do not take credit for it)
