Ok I was wondering if it was possible, which I'm sure it is, to end a process of a program at my school that stops me from using firefox. The process is called "navagent.exe". So I have a start up program and when I click the button to end the program I want it to be able to open firefox, which it can but then it closes because of the blocker but before it can run I need to end the process and I would rather not go through the task manager and do all of that. If there is a tutorial or something that someone knows of that would be great. Thanks.
 
You probably don't have access to terminate the process. That being said, download pstools. Whether you have access or not, it will be able to terminate any thread.
 
Well I have access to it, because I can go through task manager and turn it off that way but I would rather have the program do it for me, but if what you meant by I don't have access to it was that I can't get to it from the program code then Thanks Anyway.
