To be sure nobody will answer me with advice on not trying to terminate critical (system) processes - I'm relatively experienced in programming and Windows in general - I'd know what I'm doing so far.

So there are these processes that can't be terminated with taskkill - system processes in general. But there also is, for example my Anti Virus program that makes itself "unterminateable".

• How can I access and mainly terminate system processes under windows? (kill.exe by Microsoft doesn't work)

• How do processes like anti-virus programs protect themselves? How can you turn them off again, then?
