msconfig was my friend here. If you got a virus or something that cant be shut down i always make a bat file like so:
@Echo OFF
echo This will kill all specified programs
kill application1.exe
kill application2.exe
echo Program kill completed
pause
I use that after tracking down the suspect programs with the task manager. @Echo OFF just keeps you from seeing the actual commands in the file. echo puts text in the console, kill ends the application with that name,
and pause pauses the process till you press a key. In this case, the program ends after you press the key because there was no other commands.
EDIT: Ok if you could understand that you deserve 50 million credits. I was working on a program to end suspect files when the TM wont let you, but I stopped. Maybe you could use it Dboy if stuff wont close.
While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack http://pastebin.com/SYQXBufs
