wkill

wkill is a Windows utility which terminates a targeted window or program when clicked. It uses solely the Windows API and is written in Win32 assembly (FASM).

FASM is an abbrevation for "flat assembler". For more information see here http://flatassembler.net/.

After launching wkill the mouse pointer changes to the red wkill icon. Clicking on any window will terminate the process that created it and will also exit wkill.

Another way to use wkill is to either click the middle mouse button or move the scroll wheel up or down once. This will change the mouse pointer to the red wkill icon but with a plus sign. This signifies 'sticky' mode. Clicking on any window will terminate its process but wkill will remain running and more windows can be targetted.

Clicking on the middle mouse button or moving the scroll wheel up or down one more time will change the pointer to a green X icon. Clicking anywhere will exit wkill.

Right clicking anywhere at any time will also exit wkill.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
