I'm trying to create a small productivity program to keep myself focused when programming; specifically, to close any processes that might distract me from doing my job.What is the easiest way to kill all processes listed in a listBox? I already know how to add the processes to my listBox with this code: [code]This adds the processes to the listBox very neatly and all, exactly how I want it. I have a timer that gets enabled with the press of a button that should close all processes in the listBox.
Wazzup everyone I'm trying to make a program that manages my processes. I'm having trouble killing processes off of a listbox. I know how to kill a process just not off of a listbox because it returns in the following format: System.Diagnostics.Process(notepad)
Here's what I've tried so far. Killp = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(Killp) For Each p As Process In pProcess DialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to kill this process?" & [Code] .....
I made an application that helps facilitate malware removal by running a bunch of different CLI scanners at once; among other things.
The app was made to run in normal and safe mode. The problem, is that since it has been made to run in normal mode, it essentially becomes useless if the malware has installed a rootkit that kills executables as they open or if they've messed with the exe file association in the registry.
So, to get my app to run, I thought to do 2 things.
First, change the file association of my app to either .com, scr, or .pif so that it can still launch but won't be affected by messed up reg keys or identified by the rootkit.
But, I still need to worry about that rootkit for the other apps.
So I thought to just kill all non essential processes.
What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I thought of two different ways:
I could either have a pre-compiled list of system processes that need to stay running or when looping through the processes, I can identify each by a specific property, like company name or something else.
I do computer repair for my local store and I have been noticing a ton of computers coming in with a fake antispyware program called antivirus 2008. I am trying to make a program that by clicking a button I can end the processes it loads. For now I just need to kill these processes.[code]...Kill Multiple Processes By Clicking Button?
I have a snippet below how to kill multiple instances of different processes by the name of exe file For Each processName As String In {"notepad", "word", "excel"} Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(processName) For Each p As Process In pProcess p.Kill() Next Next But if user will change the name of exe file it will not work. So the question is how to kill them by window title which contains {"notepad", "word", "excel"}?
here is what I'm trying to do (partly in pseudo code):
Public Sub KillProcess(ByRef strProcessToKill As String) Dim proc() As Process = Process.GetProcesses For i As Integer = 0 To proc.GetUpperBound(0) If proc(i).ProcessName = strProcessToKill Then proc(i).Kill() End If
[Code]...
The killprocess part works fine. However, if I try a "For Each App As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName("chrome"") approach and have several chrome windows open then it will display the question 5 times if there are 5 chrome processes open.
I'm trying to get a listbox to populate a list of processes that are neither running nor in the "blocked" list. This code is in a timer, so it also checks if the process is already in the list.
For Each proc In Process.GetProcesses Dim allowed As Boolean = True For Each item In Blked.Items
[Code]....
It is strange because this is populating the list, but adding the same process over and over again, even though I seem to have the checks in there.
is what i have so far. Its doing what i want it to do pretty much but i would like isntead of giving the short name in the checkedlistbox, i want the long name IE: Desktop Window Manager instead of dwm.
I have built a web browser using vb.net and I want the user to use this only, that is I would like to restrict user form using any other browsers.So the question is, how to kill a process (IE) the moment user opens it. I am able to get all the processes and able to kill the current process. But the current process is always my app.
If I want to abort or end this operation, myprocess.kill() does not work I'm thinking that the Cmd box gets killed but tsmuxer remains alive to fight another day.
On my exit button I have application.exit but this does not kill my application all teh time as sometimes I can see the process still running when I go into task manager, is there a way to kill the process when i close my application?
I am looking for a way to kill a system process.my program is printing a word doc but i have noticed that one it has printed the process Winword.exe is still running in the task manager!does anyone know how once i have printed and closed word i can kill the process?
I've been doing some research on controlling another exe without Process.Kill() .
The reason why is that I want to have a main controller program that starts and terminates my other exes . I can't use Process.Kill() it just kills my exe without giving it a chance to save data or handle the form closing event . I want to separate my program to multiple exes to prevent a scenario which is if one of the exe hangs , all the other exe hangs .
When the termination event or signal is received , then the exe would do a rollback or handle the closing part to prevent data loss etc .
So far , I've only found some methods of doing that .
1) using TxT files to communicate between exes. 2) Inter-Process Communication (IPC) using name pipes .
I am developing a large, multi-windowed application. It creates a console using AllocConsole and uses it to dump various information useful for diagnosing and debugging situations with the hardware. The program drives sensitive scientific equipment, and CANNOT be allowed to quit abruptly in midstream. Unfortunately, clicking the close box on the console window does exactly that.
1. Suppress or disable the close box on the console window
2. Trap that event, or
3. Adjust something so that my process does not depend upon its console for its life?
I am having a text file in this path "C:Test est.txt" when this was openeed I need to close this.
When I am trying to use the below code all the instances of notepad are closing and I don't want that to be happened and I want to close only the ".txt" file:Here is my code:
Dim Process() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad") For Each p As Process In Process p.Kill() Next
I am using normal thread and I am new to the thread. I want to know effective way of killing thread. I came to know that aborting thread is not good. Somewhere I read we can do this with having continue check on thread processing
