Unable to Terminate Process

I was unable to terminate a process using TaskManager. I have given TaskManager all the appropriate allow rights. Any idea why this is happening?

Hi Daisie, Try adding taskman.exe (about 15K) with the necessary allows to your protection list - Confusing innit
I do not use Task Manager as a rule as I find Sysinternals "Process Explorer" offers more usefullness to me.

Thanks, Pilli. But I already have TaskMan on the list (see above screenie).

 

Yes you do Daisie, In my haste I forgot to state the path *:\\windows\system32\taskman.exe. Yours is showing as windows\ which is a legacy version I believe.

 

Hello, Pete. Where is this protection your referring to in ZA?

 

After your post I went through ZA looking for anything that might do what you suggested. I found the control you refer to above, and went through the help screens. They were not very clear regarding this control. Thanks for clearing this up!

 

Another one to try when having difficulties terminating a process is our Advanced Process Termination (APT) program, which offers 9 process termination methods - one of them completely undocumented (and also includes anti-hook capabilities), but all very easy to use - just click on a process and then click on a the kill button of your choice:

Freeware, and only 43kb so it'll download faster than you can read this paragraph.

 

Thanks, Wayne. I've already got that club in my bag, and a powerful one it is (unlike my Driver). I usually use that one as my last resort (yes, my Driver is a last resort too ). I was just trying to get the normal methods to work...
