Re: hide from task manager
There's absolutely no good reason to do this, so no. This is typically what rootkits do.

Re: hide from task manager
Easiest way is to just disguise it by making it show up as "svchost.exe". It'll get lumped in with all the others, and will become indistinguishable. That would be the safest route to follow actually, because ordinary programs should have a way to be closed by the TaskManager - that is why the TaskManager exists.
Here is a VB.NET way : http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=406555
So it is indeed possible, but I would really, really advise against it.

Re: hide from task manager
if i don't want to hide the process i prefer to have a watcher process for the main process and when main process get killed the watcher process will restart it and vice versa.
thanks both of you.
rootkit has several main problem and the vb code works only for XP.

If you want an auto restarting application run it as a windows service. Thats one of the features services offer.
