"Please help"... nope, not going to happen. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for you to do this at all. Besides that, you are wasting your time trying to prevent administrators from maintaining their own computers. Any admin worth anything at all would defeat your scheme in 2 minutes or less anyway.

Of course. This question is just a result of wrong way of thinking.

Yes i can understand you but if you use eset antivirus and then try to kill its service it will not allow you to stop or modify its service. Then how they have done that? if it is not possible.

They can still be stopped, you just need to be determined enough. Not only that, you should re-think your strategy: I wouldn't want "unstoppable" software on my machine, so I don't think those installing your work would be happy to do the same.

Let me tell you: I will kill any service if it is installed on my computer. Modify? It depends on what you mean by that... of course, it could be impossible in any reasonable way, but when a service is stopped, it's just a pack of files which you can modify the way you want. :-)

There are several things we don't do here: homework, provide people with free code and describe how to write malware.
