so my GF have a virus that sends messages to other contacts from her skype so i was wondering if i cant track it by checking if some process is using the skype communication protocol or the exe itself. while i mess with it i notice that the skype message pop up with the question if i allow my program to access it when i was using the communication protocol.
View 2 RepliesLets get down to it, Basically, I'm making a kind of "Anti-Hack" for a project I'm working on.The basis of the "Anti-Hack" is the check processes for names of known Memory Editors, For example, one memory editor I am scanning for is Cheat Engine.exe, I am using this code to scan for it, then I use the result to activate a different piece of code.
If Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine").Length = 0 The
'It's OK
Else
<Removed for obvious reasons>
End If
Basically, I don't want my code to look like a library of If statements when the only thing I am changing is the process name, what I want to do, is have an encrypted .dat file with an array or list of known tools. I want to then go through the array/list and keep checking for instances of them running.I know nothing of how to encrypt/decrypt .dat files through VB. (I'm not an expert at it atm )I am open to other ways (Easier ways) of doing this, like a Class with a list of names etc.
**NOTE** I would rather it be a separate file as the program features an Auto-Update feature, so it will be easier to update the list.
**IMPORTANT**Also, I would like to know how to hide my process, so it cant simply be ended, It may sound suspicious but people will be able to just close it and start hacking T_T, Unless there is another way, I would appreciate it (Like making it so it cant be ended etc.)**IMPORTANT.
Im working on a small virus removal application, and i have a piece of code to check if a process is running,although, it doesn't seem to work.The code is as follows:
ListView2.Items.Add(TimeOfDay + " - Starting Process Scanner")
Dim Vir As Process() = Process.GetProcesses
Dim a As Integer
For a = 0 To Vir.Length - 1
Debug.WriteLine(Vir(a).ProcessName)

How would i just if a website exists, and, if so, launch a browser to open it. I am making a little tool for one of my freinds and it allow then to quickly launch websites. How would I check if that is a valid website to launch, so i don't get an error if it is not valid.[code]The error i want to stop is "Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided."So basically i want to make sure that the program can launch the URL so i don't get this error

View 10 RepliesOk so I'm working on an anti-hack program for my online game and when the game is running it hides its self in the background. I need it to periodically or always(Would that slow down the computer its on?)check if processes are running so it can stop them. If possible I would also like to know how I can have it so if the anti-hack's process is closed, the client.exe process will also close.What I have currently is:

I put this at the top of my project:
Option Compare Text
Here is the sub that contains the process name check:
Sub AC3()
Dim ProcessList As System.Diagnostics.Process()
ProcessList = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
Dim Proc As System.Diagnostics.Process
For Each Proc In ProcessList
[Code] .....
No errors, but it only checks the lowercase hack/cheat/inject. I need it to be case insensitive when checking it.
Figured it out and tested and it works. I put, right after dim procname...
procname = procname.ToLower()
works great.
I'm attempting to write an app that watching for process spikes. IE: Watch every active process and log the difference between initial and max values of cpu percentage (or load) of each process. The problem is that, as far as I can tell from the MSDN, the Process class doesn't contain any property that is even remotely equal to the true load of the process. For the time being I've written the code to watch the PagedMemorySize64 property, but the values that are being spit out appear to have no relevance to load.
To be clear, I don't need the actual load percentage (though it would be handy), all I need is a property that is directly related to load to show what processes 'spike' during the execution of my program.
My code as it stands (initialProcessCheck runs first, then processCheck runs every 1.5 seconds or so until other threads doing irrelavent tasks are finished, then computeDeltas is run):
Private Sub initialProcessCheck()
'Checks the current load on all active processes and stores as initial values
For Each intPID As Integer In ActiveProcessIDs
Dim CheckProcess As Process = Process.GetProcessById(intPID)

I'm developing a vbnet/c#.NET based application that opens files with different applications(excel, word, etc).
The application is launched using Dim app As Process = Process.Start(ProcessProperties)
Now, when I have to terminate the process I use app.Kill() but I need to check if the document has been modified before killing it.
How can I handle that? And if it's possible, how can I launch the application native prompt for save?
Is there a way in vb.net to check whether new memory pages have been created inside a process(such as winlogon, svchost etc) For eg : if i there is a certain value that may change if new memory pages are created inside the process. Then i can compare the previous value and the new value (after pages have been created) and make it sure that new pages have been created inside that process.

I Also want to get the Process Owner of the explorer.exe process to check which user is logged on. I have found some VBscript examples online, but i can't seem to get them to work. If anyone knows of a better way of checking if and what user is logged on to a computer, please give me a reply also. I have tried System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses, but i can't seem to get the owner of the process, maybe WMI will do the trick ?

I'm not asking how to exit the program( dispose() ) instead I have a program that checks if a certain process is running and if so it displays a message box, stops the process and (Should) exit the program. If the process is not detected then the program loads normally and opens an external program. My problem is that it stops the process and still runs the program. How can I fully stop the code and exit my program?

View 3 RepliesI am writing a manager for an app that we use at the office. I have successfully written launching, monitoring, and managing number of instances using the process class.Each file is the data output for one study. Each of the 2-8 instances of the application will run 1000 studies overnight. The fault would be that the file stops growing. I cannot just check for that, because it also stops growing when it done with one study. I need to be able to determine which files are being written by which threads (or vis-versa where i know which files are 'running' and need to see who owns them)?
View 13 RepliesI have a program that processes files in a special subdirectory and the program processes the files based upon the "Type", i.e., "Text Document". If an application, such as a text editor, installed onto the system, the "Type" may change to suit that application. For example, I recently had one change the type from "TXT File" to "UltraEdit Document (.txt}". Yes, the squirrely brace was on the end, don't know why. Well, after this app was installed, my program found no files of "TXT File" type to process even though the subdirectory was full of filename.txt files.
So, how can I get the code to look at the file extension, not the Type? A few lines of the code are shown:
