I am looking for a method (maybe even a commercially available piece of
software) to watch a program and ensure that it is always running. If
it is killed in task manager, it will automatically start it up again,
etc, etc.
Yeah... I had some spyware that did exactly that. Basically, a "helper" app
monitored the list of processes and the Run registry key. If that junk
spyware was removed from either place, that helper would re-create the reg
entry and restart the spyware... Plus, the spyware monitored the helper app
so it was protected in the same way.... argghhhh. Getting rid of the whole
mess took a while and if you add this functionality to your app, hopefully,
you'll be kind enough to warn people about it. At least, that way they can
say "Nah... not for me" or "Cool.. glad its protected".
