» AntiLW

[Tsukasa]

So one of my IT jobs is at a rental company and most the machines that I have to keep cleaning / re-imaging is due to dumb people using limewire. Soo since it annoys me I made this to annoy them back.

Yes this ez to remove but most of them can't and the smart ones that can aren't the ones I have to keep fixing

Haha I like this very much Tsukasa, +Rep! :-)

This is definitely something One can use to protect against "stupid users" on
an IT- / LAN-network (or whatever network is in use where you have control
of the software that is running on the PC's).

The code is also very simple and clean and easy to develope further on to
include many more processes so that's also why I like it quite much. Good job :-)

Ya you can add as many as you want to look for. It can also be hidden from task manager ..etc made to delete the dir's that the programs are installed in and so on.

the static bool CheckPL was cuz I had another method is was passing ture/false for so it can me changed.
