Diffrence Between Process And Service


Recommended Posts

Is it there any way to make difference between Processes and Servicees ??? e.g smss.exe is a name of Windows's Service. and some of viruses hav also same name. so how can i mange to close smss.exe(process) not service ? wen ever i tried to close the process "with processClose("smss.exe")" , its act on service ????

Use a good virus scanner. Only the cheesiest of viruses would be detectable that easily. The more dangerous ones will surely evade you. It is trivial, for example to make any executable run as a service.

So we can say thats its impossible to recognize service with AutoIT .... :P !

The only difference between a regular process and a service process is that who started it. The service manager starts a service process and depending on settings kept in the registry, monitors it so it can be restarted if it stops, etc.

If you run the demo script for my _ProcessListProperties() function, you will see the PID and PPID of each process. Find the PID of Services.exe, which is the service manager. All the processes that have a PPID that matches the PID of Services.exe are "services".

Now how does that tell you anything about whether the executable has been replaced or infected by a trojan or virus? It doesn't. You can't write an effective, working virus scanner in AutoIt, or any other scripting language.
