App Killer V2.1
The main reason for writing App Killer was to stop the infestation of
Spyware that
normally comes with P2P (Peer 2 Peer) applications and the legalities of downloading copywrited
material, in the US there have been many parents that have been fined because
their kids are downloading using p2p apps without their consent. This software
is a good additional step to stopping it.
The software works in a unique way, this enables
applications to be blocked no matter what the file name or window title is. It
will check your system every 30 seconds for programs on your block list, if it
finds any open then it will close them immediately.
As you will see, since the original P2P Killer software was
developed we have added many more programs to the block list. For this reason we
decided to move from the P2P Killer name to a more generic name App Killer.

This software is totally free of charge, however if you
like the application and would like to make a donation towards development and
server costs it would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to go to the
donation page.
I must stress that neither PalmerSoft or it's owner have
anything against any of the applications referenced in this software, we have
merely responded to client comments on which applications they would like
included.
