Kill the process if you have sufficient rights.

This should not be done.

Well, why would someone do that? Don't you see how big security threat this would be? If you have an application that can do it then hackers would use it and remove antivirus from people system.

In order to access/close the antivirus or any exe running you can use Processses[^] to access any running program. If you have the priviledge/admin rights, might be you can play around with it.

I love it when virgin, fresh-faced hackers greet the world with that look of hope and glee in their eyes, hopeful that they can somehow write a bigger, better stuxnet virus.

I am trying to get the username and password of the Nod32 antivirus by using application when my application tries to access that website the Nod32 block this website so I want only to disable the antivirus during the access after it get the username and password I want my application to enable it black as it was :((

Well, I would suggest you to think and workout something else. Disabling your antivirus is just like giving a calling cards to hackers and e-thiefs... You should not let your system open and invite virus/trojans to attack.

These things are as designed for security and you should try to play by those rules for self benefit.
