Hi,

It's possible to implement in the future release, to protect that the "nod32kui.exe" and "nod32krn.exe" can be killed from Task Manager?

It's a nice protection that Kaspersky already have...

Thanks and keep the excelent work

Hello,
I'm agree with you,
We know that is technical impossible protect a process from being killed in a admin account, but why not try to enhance the protection like ZA and KAV?
I know that if you want to do dangerous actions like navigate in Internet is recommend that you do all of this in a limited account, but in XP all acounts created are admin by default and the typical user doesn't know that.

Hello all. I agree, NOD should have this ability. But just in case you didn't know, there is a program called process guard by DiamondCS that stops programs from being shut down by a variety of methods in addition to task manager - I was shocked at the number of ways this can be done. The advantage of PG is that you can protect many of your security programs that don't have the protection built in. You should check it out if you haven't seen it. Just FYI.

Even processes protected by DiamondCS or having a kind of protection implemented CAN be killed. Though it's not that easy as without protection, but it's still possible.

If you password protect Kav settings you cannot end proccess(avpm.exe) using task manager even if logged as an admin account I would like that level of protection(at least) built into NOD then at least it cannot be disabled accidentally

I fogot to say about the password protection of Kaspersky on my first post...

I think that this is a great feature...

[steve1955]

password protection is available with nod but it doesn't act the same way with task manager

Hi Marcos,
Yes, you can kill the process, however while the process is more protected, better.

I know steve1955, I only forgot to mention...

So, the developers of NOD32 will make this feature into NOD32?

Thanks

What KAV are you talking about? I have KAV 4.5 trial on this box and all I have to do is right click on the icon in the systray and select exit. I would not want any further protection. I need to kill the AV anytime I download and install applications and KAV is much simpler on this issue than is NOD32 where you cannot just disable AMON. You have to kill NOD32 because it still runs in the background even with AMON disabled. I don't like this. I think KAV is the best AV I've tried for ease in user killing and restarting. The only thing I would like to see is the AV (KAV, NOD32,etc) do something to remind me that it is not running after X number of minutes. I believe I saw screen shots of the latest NAV that has this feature.

I don't know if the others have the same feature, but in KAV 5.0, we can't kill the KAV using the TaskManager...

I think this is a great feature...

In the beta I have, the process can not be killed (at least casually through task manager (nod32krn.exe)). The control center/gui, however, can be killed (nod32kui.exe).

[rdsu]

But it will be very handy if we have both files protected...

i would prefer it that we can kill those process's.
i need to troubleshoot computers and sometimes when computers are hanging from NOD i can kill those processes mentioned above to get them running again. i know there is other ways around it, but i would prefer quickest.

I have setup in my firewall for it not to allow to kill NOD32 proces or any other without my permission. Tiny firewall 6.0

[sir_carew]

Latest released version indeed has nod32krn.exe process protected but only if you're using a limited account under NT based systems like XP or 2k. If you're logged in a administrator account, then you can kill nod32krn.exe proccess however NOD restart it service itself if NOD detect that it was killed.

So then how do you kill it completely for software installations? I don't want anything that is a hassle to kill. That is why I like KAV 4.5. I can completely kill by right click exit on its icon in the systray. That is how it should be. But it should tell after x number minutes that I need to restart it.
