How to hide a process from taskmgr?

[Gunner54]

how can i hide another processes from taskmgr?

You can use TaskVisible property:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    App.TaskVisible = False
End Sub

Not my app's process. I mean another running process.

Why do you need to hide a process?

Not my app's process. I mean another running process.

Strange request... Why?

[Gunner54]

because, im making anti-hacking protection for a game that people keep Dll Injecting if i hide it from taskmgr then it "should" hide it from the Injector.

That would only work if everyone that plays the game, runs your app before the injector :S

You could always disable Task Manager.

[RobDog888]

Well there is no sure fire way to hide your pocess from the process list, at least in VB.

[Keithuk]

So disable Task Manager.

[RobDog888]

Hiding it from task manager will most likely not make any kind of effect on the injector process. Windows knows its running but "filtering" it out of the task manager will do nothing. You need to come up with something else to prevent injections, something in your code but vb may not be able to handle such needs.

but they can still just search for the processes, regardless of it showing in the task manager or the task manager being locked.

[RobDog888]

Thats my point. If they are hacking your game then they will know how to enumerate the running processes themselves etc and still end up injecting your app. Again, the point is to come up with some other method of securing your game.

but its not taskmgr that i want to disable...

i just want to hide a process from the taskmgr's process list.

and YES this app does start before the game.
