ok i really need something that can figure out and delete random process names ,
i have a few ideas that come to mind , not sure to make these happen tho

i know that all these random processes are running in c:\windows
so maybe you could make a program to say if a program is running from c:\windows kill all the prcesses from it and delete file

or maybe another idea is to scan inside the file.exe for something and if it matchs kill process and delete ..

or maybe another idea is to kill and delete process if it matchs file size ..
theres no way to kill these processes by adding them ,, something needs to be worked out
the process names are like this

yymfld.exe
fdfsdsf.exe
dwdwd.exe

lots more .. all diferent sizes in letter length as well.
any ideas guys
 
Sounds like you need a virus scanner if you have uncontrolled random processes being run.

no its not a virus ,, its my program which i am trying to make a uninstaller for ,, i made it so when it installs it gets a new exe name :p

Well that sure is one way to make people suspicious of your application, especially if it's creating a new random file name each time it installs.

It it really matters, why not just write out the name of the executable to the install log, so that you know it when it comes time to uninstall it?
