Archive: Killing a process without trojan/virus errors


Killing a process without trojan/virus errors
Killproc, and KillProcDLL, and their ilk throw up big red flags in AVG, Anti-Vir, Kaspesky, etc depending on what virus scan file the user has.

This is annoying to have my users question me if my software has viruses or trojans.

I have emailed the companies over the last year, to no avail. So that is not the answer.

I want a natural solution that can forcibly kill a process in both Windows95 -> Windows Vista, without raising trojan horse flags. And this includes processes that don't have window handles, we will only have the process name.

Any ideas?

Does Kill.exe work in vista through '95?


Use the FindProcDLL then send WM_CLOSE or WM_SYSCOMMAND with SC_CLOSE.

Well I ended up using nsProc, I wonder how well it will stand up to virus scanners.
