KillBox will kill and delete the file Bleeping Computer Downloads: Pocket KillBox

Unless I'm missing something, I don't understand what advantage that this offers, because it still requires a reboot, which is exactly what I want to
avoid.

EDIT: It kind of sounds as though it is for permanently deleting the process, rather than just killing the inoperative process.

It does kill and delete the process. Are you sure that your command is correct?

I have not tried it, I'm only going by what I read. However, your response seems to confirm what I think that it said...it not only kills it, but also deletes it. That would be fine in the case of some kind of malware, but that is not what I want to do. If the process is actually deleted, then the program is no longer operative. That would be like slaughtering a chicken, because you didn't like scrambled eggs.
