This program requires it to be open or minimized throughout the process or killing any task, as assigned by the user.It doesn't run in invisible mode, i mean in the background.
Also i tried shutting down my Anti-virus after 2 min time and it couldn't do that. So pretty useless. I tried shutting down CareuEyes, which it did! But the hue in the screen didn't change to normal, as the program CareuEyes does when it is on.
So all in all, it kind a killed few programs assigned but also i couldn't kill such things like AntiVirus.
Pretty useless software, i'll not recommend this to other people. But could have been better.
Don't bother downloading this, but thank you GAOTD for your offer.

Endomondo, Antivirus software likely has protection to prevent outside programs from shutting it down.

Sorra... but most of the comments (till now) don´t get the point:

1) most named "alternatives" just shut down windows itself, but do not handle running programs - which is a BIG difference!

2) a comletely different thing is a discussion on the real usability of this tool (beside its regular price):
) as already mentioned, NO program should be able to end a virus scanner! - If, this would be a major fail f the virus scanner itsel, because then every malicious softwarte could do the same...
b) just forcing(!) a program to end, means, that this prg.could not reset altered screen settings (resolution, colours et. and even other sensible stuff) so what a program like the offered on should be able to do, is to end a/all program(s) in a regular way... - but that need fine tuning and at least knowledge how to end a certain task.
There is several software that must be !correctly! ended to not end up in some fuzz (not only the visible screen, but e.g. not saved .ini files and much other stuff.
You can test a program yourself, if it (at least most likely) guarantees to can be ended in a brute way: Hit Alt-F4 inside the program and watch what is offered it you ask it to end thru this (but even than: this will not really guarantee it).

What the more tech interested CAN do and use alternatively is, playing with AutoHotkey.exe: That great (free!) tool (as well as AutoIt.exe!) offers all needed fine tuning for such tasks - but it need sometimes some work to find out ALL needed (conditional!) key presses to end a task correctly (and such without data loss or other mess).
