etc.

is there a more professional and reliable way to pipe everything on the screen to a text file? If so how. Also... how can i close running programs using c/c++. This one is for my pic1324.exe virus cleaner.

command line argument for the file name could be a possibility. iostreams or good ol' fputs :). If you are taking the time to have the program output, you could just replace the way you are outputing with the afformentioned ways.
