Well, at my school they have Novell, which I haven't really had any issues with, however, they also have an antivirus, Panda Antivirus, and when I plug in my flash drive, it deletes lots of programs that I have on there, and it's really annoying in general.

So, today during my 1rst hour I wrote a program to end all processes related to Novell and Panda, that will autoplay off my flash drive when I plug it in, the issue is that Panda is attached to the system process "services.exe" and when you attempt to end the process it says that a device attached to the system is not functioning, and cannot end it. I've tried ending services.exe, but for one, it's a system process, so I can't remove it through system commmands in C++ like I'm doing, and even when you do end it, the computer automatically shuts down in a minute after it has been ended.

Anyone know how I can end Panda?

End the service, not the process. You know about services right?

Unless everyone at that school is given an administrative account, I don't think you will be able to do what you are trying to do. You could try looking at the anti-virus program to see if it has a setting in itself that it will allow you to change to disable it temporarily, though. If it does have such a setting that a non-admin user can use, it shouldn't.

Actually, by default your account is set to administrator(the people running the Novell system are retards..) and the account stays on the computer when you log in and out, allowing you to log onto the workstation and not the network once you've logged in once.


Unfortunately when you right click the icon in the corner it just has scanning options, nothing else

Anyways, away from how retarded our network admins are, Heinermann, I have done that before manually(once agani, a security flaw allowed me to do so), however, I don't know how to write it into a program, as all I can use it command prompt commands...

Edit: Okay, after a quick google search I found this, and so I think this topic is solved, I just have to test it out in school tomorrow.

Nevermind, I've managed to stop most of the anti-virus' services, however it seems that the protection service is also protected so you cannot disable it, any more ideas?
