Help!!!!

Hi i was wondering if it is possible to shut a process down? if so could you please show me how? thanks for your time and hope you could help with my antivirus project for school:P

I was also wondering if it is possible to search for a certain process to see if its in memory.

If you do an advanced Search for kill process you'll get a number of hits and this is one of them.

Here's a way:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    'terminates Notepad.exe
    TerminateProcess ("Notepad.exe")
End Sub
 
Private Sub TerminateProcess(app_exe As String)
    Dim Process As Object
        For Each Process In GetObject("winmgmts:").ExecQuery("Select Name from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & app_exe & "'")
            Process.Terminate
        Next
End Sub

thanks it worked out good!

Np! :wave:
