Getting process information
 

Hello,

I have recently beeen attacked by a Troyan (for the second time now...) and it took me about one hour and a half to kill it (not completely). I have had just about enough with these worms, and as my Spyware/adware cleaner doesn't recognise it, even with the latest updates, I am resolved to make an anti-troyan myself. All I need to know is how do you retreive a process's name in the memory, if you have access to it? I'm sure there is a way! I only know c++/vc++, and I'm starting to learn Assembly, which is the reason why I posted this on this forum.
Thank you,

Leslie

You might want to try Hijack this. It probably won't help you make your own anti-malware kit, but it will help you identify and remove processes manually that automatic malware removers miss.

You should also make sure to practice safe browsing habits (high security settings) and possibly using alternative browsers (Firefox) email suites (Thunderbird).

Using something like Linux and Mac almost definitely get you away from this completely but not save you much time in short term because you will have to figure out how to do things differently. (Heck you might even try Vista).

Good luck!
