Killall for Windows

Killall is a .NET 2.0 application designed to kill any program or application not in the whitelist. There is a core whitelist for each of the supported operating systems and then a custom whitelist that you, the user, can modify in notepad to specify additional programs you do not wish Killall to terminate.

I originally wrote this as a vbs script to kill all of the various applications people would install and have run at startup on the computers at the net cafe I used to work at and thus Killall was born. Over the years it has gained a few fixes and is now in executable form.

Supported Operating Systems:
   Windows 7
   Windows Vista
   Windows XP
   Windows 2000

There is currently 6 command-line parameters supported, -noautoexit, -exitdelay=value, -invis, -nowrite, -dryrun and -debug.
Killall will auto-close after 5 seconds and log its output to killall.log. -noautoexit parameter stops the auto-shutdown sequence.
You can also just modify the time it takes for the auto-shutdown to trigger with -exitdelay=value. Example: -exitdelay=3 would make it occur after 3 seconds, default is 5.
If stealth is your game, Killall can be hidden from alt+tab, taskbar and the screen via the -invis parameter.
Killall can be more verbose via the -debug paramter.
If you would like to test your whitelist out, you can use the -dryrun parameter so killall will show you what it would do without actually doing it.
The -nowrite parameter suppresses killall from writing a log file or creating a blank custom whitelist file (if one doesn't exist).

The format of the killall custom whitelist file(killall.cwl) is executable name followed by a semi-colon and space. For example: firefox.exe; iexplore.exe; aim.exe

This program requires that you have .NET Framework 2.0 or better installed. If you have Windows Vista or higher, you are already set but if you have Windows XP or 2000, you need to install this for Killall to function. You can download .NET Framework 2.0 by clicking here.
