Thank you for your interest in this project! I have a security application (digitally signed), written in Delphi 7, that runs hidden for all the time computer is used. I am looking for a way to protect or hide the process, in order to prevent users for killing it by Windows Task Manager. It has only one exe (process). I already found something on Google to protect the process, but works only in Windows 7: [login to view URL] This thread talks about a solution for Windows 8: [login to view URL] (Btw, I have madCodeHook license if needed). The solution must work in Windows XP, 7, 8 and 10, both 32 and 64 bit (I can make tests). Maybe its a impossible task, or maybe you have another idea that work as a solution... Any help is welcome! PS. I will give preference to those who already have created something like that. Please send the compiled exe for testing.

Hi. For my bid amount here is what I can offer to you, actually this is the solution. What you need to do is to convert your application as a .DLL, so all the functions must work from .DLL, then on Windows startup you inject this .DLL in a process that every time is started on Windows startup. In this way you wont have your application process name in taskmanager. The solution is DLL Injection. Hope this was helping you and we can close this project successfull. If you have any question please ask me. Thank you.

Hi, Instead of protecting the application process, I may have some other solution. That is creating a service that calls the application (exe). I tested this on windows 7 and the application not shown on task manager. On windows xp it may still shown on task manager, but this service can be made to start the application again if it tries to find the application window and could not found it. I have some test exe for you to try. Could you give me your email address?
