IU'm not sure I understand you. Are you asking for instructions on how to write malicious programs in c#?

no i'm asking you the way to check if there are any kind of malicious process that is actually reducing my computer performance

i need to program it coz i'm trying to develope an antivirus program so got to include this method of detection into it so

It sounds like you have a major learning curve ahead of you then. Anti-virus programs are very low level.

Good! :laugh:

You could do it, but...it would probably be more trouble than it's worth. The problem is in identifying a "malicious" process which will almost certainly be hiding within a legitimate process or impersonating a legitimate process. You would have to access the process memory space (non-trivial in native code, never mind managed!) and examine it in detail. You would then ned some way of identifying it as "rogue" which with non-trivial modern virii is a major undertaking!

I wouldn't do it - I would use MSE, or Kaspersky, or (god forbid) Norton instead - that is what they are very, very good at.
