    Hi there,
    We haven't had any reports of this yet so it's probably an isolated issue. It's impossible for me to say from here what might be causing the problem as it may even be other software or security software on your system triggering the problem. If you close all running programs including your security programs can you then use APT's Kernel Kill to kill a process such as Calculator or Notepad?

    Best regards,
    Wayne

    as long as I added the APTs (advanced process termination from the website to test it out.. ;) ) processes it shows, all kill/crash commands don't make it happen..howerver if i push it on crss.exe or so and then kill KERNEL, my computer reboots automatically...no problems afterwards nothing-lost..

    oh by the way I was asking how to protect from killing the kernel in the WHOLE so processguard would protect that from terminating if an application tried to do that.. :)o_O

    Yes, this is because you are essentially killing Windows itself! csrss.exe is a critical component of Windows - kill it and you kill Windows, so the behavior you're experiencing (reboot) is actually to be expected.

    but how do I stop this with PG? I already added it to processguards protection as in the file itself..shouldn't pg protect this or is this in the PAY VERSION?

    I would really like to know how to protect against this..?

    Block it from installing a driver, thats all. This is why driver security has and always will be so important, and part of why we created PG in the first place ! if you allow a driver to be installed, you inherently trust it to do anything it wants (be a rootkit perhaps)
