Program detection

**Desa** · 08-17-2010

Hey there, im building an application in visual basic 2010, and I wondered if anyone could help me by answering a question and maybe giving me a code if possible. Thanks

Is there a way for a program to detect is other apps are open and if certain apps are open close them?

Cause i need to incorporate this code into an anticheat system ive been developing. (For pc games of course).

I have some sort off module that may help ill quickly cut snippets out and add things that maybe useful to you give me 5 mins.

Ok sure. I just want a code to detect certain applications (so i can add a line of code if i find a new cheat for the game) then i want the code to close all apps in the code, so no cheating can be done. Eventually its gonna be an anti cheat product.

yeah ill show u how to detect a program by Description, name or whatever u want so even if they change the file name it will still be detected.

You could use a foreach loop to go through the list of processes currently running. Then check if the process name matches the program you're looking for.

That would be to easy to bypass just replace the name.

Hmm, we've nearly finished creating an online game that looks pretty smooth, and our game is going to be supported by my anti cheat system you see.

Okay so i put this together all you need to do is implement your own like "definitions" you could also add other things you also need to add a auto checker. Anyways here http://www.undergroundcoding.net/pro...Anti-Cheat.zip
