I am unable to stop a process from Task Manager even though I'm an Administrator, what can I do?

A. I recently had this exact problem with some Antivirus processes Icould not kill, it said I had insufficient access so all I did was start a TaskManager session under the 'System' process by submitting with the AT command,for example

C:> at  /inter taskmgr.exe

When Task Manager starts you should be able to stop anything (but beCAREFUL!).

An alternative to AT would be the SOON resource kit command and the syntaxwould be

C:>  soon 30 /interactive taskmgr

Another option would be to use the the PVIEW resource kit utility to changethe security on the process and then stop as normal.

Another way would be to use the kill -f command but you would need to be alocal Administrator of the machine. You could use the Resource kit PULIST.EXEprogram to view the processes.
