Batu69 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Foolish IT has released the first beta of KillEmAll 5.0, a portable tool designed to close all non-essential applications at the click of a button. The program could be very useful in emergencies -- maybe to close all open browser windows if you’ve got a malicious popup -- but is also a handy timesaver whenever you need to clear your desktop in a hurry. Basic usage is the same as with previous editions: launch the program, click "Kill Running Processes", confirm that you really mean it, and KillEmAll forcibly shuts down everything non-essential. The forcible shutdowns mean you still need to be very careful with this, too: if any of these applications has unsaved work, it’ll be lost.KillEmAll 5.0 extends the package by providing more information on running software, and extra control over exactly what will be closed. The "Allowed Programs Found" tab lists important and system programs which won’t be closed by default, while anything considered expendable is listed under "Running Programs (Non-Essential)". Double-clicking any program name displays a dialog with various properties and attributes, including MD5 and SHA256 hashes. You can also create your own whitelist, using extensive and flexible rules (documentation is here), to define programs that should never be closed. KillEmAll 5.0 worked well for us, making sensible choices by default (not closing important system processes) while also giving plenty of opportunity for fine-tuning. Just be very sure you’ve saved any work before you try it out. KillEmAll 5.0 beta is a free application for Windows XP and later.

Holmes Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The same developers that developed this developed cryptoprevent and thats a very good program to. The problem is its beta it shouldnt be used on your main computer system (the one you use regularly) and if you do I recommend you do so with caution.

Woomera Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 i doubt that this would have a negative impact on the system if you run it on your main machine BUT there is no need to do that. this doesnt install nor give you anything to work with for you to want to run it on your machine. this is made for those infected machines that the pesky malware runs in background and prevent you from loading your removal tools, so it closes everything possible so the admin/technician can work. thanks for sharing edit: also keep in mind that it can be renamed to other file types other than EXE in order to bypass the malware defense mechanism's.

Holmes Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Dont really need it as malwarebytes anti-malware has a locked file remover kills files they are locked (obviously) and prevents you from having to kill on boot and restarting the computer. I mean it is one file at a time it can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
