A very general answer: instead of asking such question, run your code under debugger and see what process names are. You would solve your problem in a minute.

But the idea is not good: any process can accidentally have this name. You cannot guarantee that this is the process you are looking for; process names are not unique. And the whole idea of killing a process in a regular basis is really bad. You need to explain your ultimate goal. I'm almost sure we could suggest you some civilized approach to your problem. Killing is not a gentle thing and cannot give you good results.

Solution 1

C#

foreach (Process pr in prs)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show(pr.ProcessName);
                        if (pr.ProcessName == "EXCEL")
                        {
                            pr.Kill();
                        }

                    }
