i have to say i tried processguard and did not have much success with it.
I tried using process tamer gui to kill apps and process guard didn't seem to be able to prevent it.


the friend of mine who found it useful says he doesn't keep it running on his machine, but has used it in an emergency when an installed virus or trojan would not let itself be stopped.  process guard was the only thing he found to keep it from running until he was able to clean the system.

I'm a ph.d. student in computer science who should have gotten his degree about 5 years ago.  Projects like this keep me constantly in debt and delayed :(  grew up in nyc, now living in midwest.

one other thing -
check the help file of f&r at the last page youll see a list of all the other related programs i've found - might want to check them out too :)
