Windows and system processes
- by jemper
Note: I've asked this question in a similiar format on superuser but it seems like it may fit here on SO better.
It definitely also is about programming as it concerns parts of the Win32 API, Windows in general and process management.
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?
