Kill Unstopable Service

[RvdH]

Anyone knows a way to stop/kill a service within auto-it app that can't be triggered with normal;

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop "<MyServive>"',"",@SW_HIDE)

SERVICE_NAME: <MyService>

TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS

STATE : 4 RUNNING

(NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)

WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)

SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)

CHECKPOINT : 0x0

WAIT_HINT : 0x0

thx

Looks like this service is one of those services that have their own handlers instead of the default handlers.

(Think they are called SIGINT handlers?)

Sorry, no help here.

I'm talking about the "F-Prot Antivirus Update Monitor" its a little program which runs in the background and queries F-Prot server to check if new definitions are available

; uninstall/stop service
$servicename = "F-Prot Antivirus Update Monitor"

;ProcessClose("fpavupdm.exe")
;RunWait(@ScriptDir & '\F-Prot\fpavupdm.exe /uninstall')
;RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'net stop' & $servicename, "", @SW_HIDE)
    
RunWait(@SystemDir & "\sc.exe stop " & $servicename, "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@SystemDir & "\sc.exe delete " & $servicename, "", @SW_HIDE)

none of the above seem to work, if i use sysinternals pskill, like:

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\pskill -t fpavupdm", "", @SW_HIDE) it works instantly...

although i prefer to do everything from within auto-it my guess is that is the only method on how it succesfully can be done

If you post your final code here, I'm sure F-Prot will add AutoIT to the list of nasties and everybody will lose their compiled files once again.

You sure this is for a legitimate need? Approach F-Prot and ask them what the correct command to uninstall/stop their software is.

Why on earth would you want to stop/delete a program that keeps your antivirus updated?

If the reason you want is what I think it is, then I'm sorry I even posted the solution.
