Re: Stop users from being able to Kill Processes

I'd go with 3. If you make it a service, set for "Automatic" the user
shouldn't be able to kill it. From there, you can specify who the program
runs as (me, you, or local system account). Your software may or may not be
able to function in this capacity, but it's worth a shot.
