Hi,
 
I'm not sure how you can force a process hiding on your machine, to show itself but there are apps out there that will list ALL processes on your machine. If you had an install of cygwin you could use ps to list all processes.
 
Failing that there is a small app here http://illmob.org/files/illmob/prockilla.zip which shows everything and optionally allows you to kill the process. Could destabilise your system if you don't know what you're doing.
 
This prog from sysinternals might also do what you want but I haven't checked http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

Yeah, I'm curious too, please tell.
 
sefi99, there is software called "Hijack This", it will list all the processes running on your PC, check there to make sure that the process you want to "un hide" is really running.

i understand this is an old tread but i know a bit more then the original poster and i to play this game.
this is wat happens.
when u load gunbound nprotect the anti hacking software taht is with gunbound loads as well gunbound just loads up gunbound.gme nprotect then hides gunbound.gme you can see it in the task manager list for a breif 2 seconds while nprotect is loading but once nprotect loads it hides gunbound.gme now wat i dont know is how to use /tasklist.exe to find it or to unhide it all i know is the files involved from wat ive read from other forums are
 
kernel32
EnxNPGM
MtxNPGG and i have yet to find these files using ur methods
smxNpGG
 
edit the purpose is to unhide the file not just so we can view it but to actualy unhide it.

You can not hide processes, but you can disquise it... e.g. in Windows 2000,XP the most common process is svchost.exe.
 

Quote:now wat i dont know is how to use /tasklist.exe to find it

Click Start->Run: cmd
 
Then execute:

tasklist /m | more

 
This will pause the list on every page. "|" is pipe.
 
Or if you want use notepad to view the list:

tasklist /m > modules.txt
notepad modules.txt

 

Quote:to unhide it all

You can not use this tool to hide it.

This is an API that you can supposedly hide your processes. But, of course, you must have some...a lot...of programming knowledge.
 
Encrypt network communication sample, it can encrypt the communication of the application that use windows socket; Hide processes, it can hide processes from windows taskmanager; Filter internet advertising, it can filter AD bar of IE or other network application; Message filter, it can filter messages of windows; File manager, it can forbidden some files open, execute, and hidden some folders or files from windows explorer and command line.
