I need to write a program that can suspend or close processes even if
they dont have suspend or close access. It is a virus protection
program that can close power hungry processes and the viruses would
probably be protected against me suspending them. I know I can do this
at the user level if they arent protected. Can I still do it at the
user level if they are protected? If they arent, what commands can do
it at the kernel level. I dont have any experience with Kernel level
code.

Also, are there any good kernel level onlie tutorials or books?

Thanks a lot,
Eric
