Process Monitor And Killer

Written by Cheyenne Harden

It's me again... Ho,Hum... I have a user who likes to run games on his computer instead of doing his work.
I found a couple of scripts online and joined them together. This script will monitor a specified computer
and if a defined process starts, the script will kill it.
You could also run this as a logon script by replacing
This: strComputer = InputBox("Enter the name of the target computer here!")
With this: strComputer = "."

----------COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE----------

'This script will kill a defined process in an Array.
'Created by Chey Harden October 6, 2006

arrProcesses = Array("freecell.exe","sol.exe","spider.exe","winmine.exe") 'Enter Processes here in quotes, seperated by a comma!

Dim objWMIService, objProcess, colProcess, objWMIService1
Dim strComputer, strProcessKill
strComputer = InputBox("Enter the name of the target computer here!")

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

i = 0

Set colMonitoredProcesses = objWMIService. ExecNotificationQuery _
("Select * From __InstanceCreationEvent Within 5 Where TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Process'")

Do While i = 0
Set objLatestProcess = colMonitoredProcesses.NextEvent
strProcess = LCase(objLatestProcess.TargetInstance.Name)

    For Each strName in arrProcesses
        If strName = strProcess Then
            Wscript.Echo strName & " has started." & "'"

  Set objWMIService1 = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
  Set colProcessList = objWMIService1.ExecQuery _
      ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & strName & "'")
  For Each objProcess in colProcessList
      objProcess.Terminate()
  Next

        End If
    Next
Loop

PLEASE MAKE SURE NO WORD WRAPPING IS HAPPENING IN YOUR SCRIPT!!!

To make this script work you will need two things!

1. You will need to have Admin provlidges on the target computer.
2. Secondly, you will need the name of the process or processes you want to kill.
Place the process names like this: arrProcesses = Array("freecell.exe","sol.exe","spider.exe","winmine.exe")

NOTE: Version 5.6 of the Windows Scripting Host must be installed to run this script!!!
