Terminating active applications.

[Guest_imported]

Okay if I have an application called John.exe that is running, what source can I use to terminate it with an application called doe.exe. I'm trying to learn how to make virus fixes but I can't figure out how to make the fix terminate the virus. Can someone please help me out.

I'm not quite sure how to do it using Visual C++ but I think there may be some kind inter-application message system like there is on Apple Macs. For example, using Apple's High Level Event manager you can launch applications and files and close files and applications that are also High Level Event compliant.
As for me, I've just started trying to port Mac programs to PC using VC++ so I've not got to that point yet so I can't give an exact answer.
However, I've noticed that just about everything I'm used to on a Mac has some kind of equivalent in PC development.
