Silent Uncloseable Process

[halo2pac]

I'm Building a 'Share your computer' kinda app.
The user will login with his info, then after 30 be not able to use the computer.
The problem is that the user sometimes loads a usb drive then kills my program with a simple kill process call.

I want to:
#1 make the program run silent in the background.
#2 make the program not able to be closed by Alt-Ctrl-Del, or Process kill

Brother,
There is a program in the Code Bank of VBForums, which will allow you to block Ctrl + Alt + Del in Windows XP. I haven't tested or used it.... But, you better have a look on it...

What about Process killing?
What if the user loads a usb device, and kills the process?
and please dont say block usb access.

You can have two executable that run with a timer and check if the other executable is still running. If it isn't then automatically restart it.

Other than that there's no real way of preventing a process from being killed. Every virus writer out there would have an easy job if processes couldn't be killed by the user.

That's a nice idea..

Why would you want to do that?

I'm a little confused. Could you give a more detailed explaination of what this program is supposed to do?

[halo2pac]

ok I'll make this easier.
I want my program to run silent.
I want it to be unclosable.

I have seen programs, and I have seen viruses that when I alt-ctrl-del them and kill them they come back. and they do not have windows.
they only have 1 exe

I need to know the purpose of your app and not what you want it to do. In other words why do you need it to be silent and unclosable?

[Veritas2.0]

I can't imagine a good reason you would want the program to be unclosable right off hand.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I had some internet problems.

I have a bunch of PC's on my I loaned my school.
I installed my client reservation software on the PCs but the kids close the apps with kill process from a jump drive.

I feel that my question is being circumvented.

Your question was in doubt because it sounded like you were trying to write a piece of malware which is the first thing I think of when I hear someone trying to build a program that can't be killed or detected in the taskmanager.

If they are running a program of the usb why not try and disable the usb try, especially autorun? All that is required for that is a simple change of a registry key. This tells you how.

Thats how my program works.
But you can close http://www.envisionware.com/, with a jump drive that has a kill process program.
same with my program.
I Do Not want to dissable USB.
Nor Taskmanager.

I guess you're out of luck then. Windows is designed in a way so you can always close an executable in some way. If you couldn't, then it would be impossible to stop a virus or trojan as well.

You might be better off trying to find a way to stop that program or similar programs from running.

I get those kind of viruses all the time >.>
