how to create a process which is not visible in task manager or services list.

I was wondering if it is possible to hide your application from the Windows Task Manager process list (preferably in C++ or VB.NET). Thanks.

  • @karlphillip - People here are typically ethical and avoid things like advising rootkits and such. You should not do so either. If I could downvote your comment, I would. – Ken White Mar 14 '11 at 02:16
  • @Ken Well, the possible duplicate already had a reference to that magic word. But I removed it anyway. – karlphillip Mar 14 '11 at 02:20

This is bad practice, however, if you knew your environment, you could make a guess for a name that wouldn't draw attention to itself, such as something similar to a system process

    Yes, I *love* it when programs I run try to purposefully hide themselves with misleading names! Please do that. – Thomas Edleson Mar 14 '11 at 02:10

    -1. If you know it's bad practice, don't advise people to do it. – Ken White Mar 14 '11 at 02:17

    "I need to see a doctor about my toothache." "Shoot yourself in the foot and they'll give you painkillers. – Hey! It's a valid answer to the question!" No, it isn't. – Fred Nurk Mar 14 '11 at 02:52
  • sure it is. I'm sure theres at least 1 valid situation where this would be good. Say, its your own computer and you want a process to be hidden? – Kurru Mar 14 '11 at 04:53
