Is there a way to take system priviledges at runtime? I mean something like Norton Antivirus has that it Doesn't allow a user to close it even using the task manager.

That would be a very big security hole if any arbitrary application could give itself such privileges at will whenever it wanted to. Quote: I mean something like Norton Antivirus has that it Doesn't allow a user to close it even using the task manager. Antivirus programs tend to be implemented as services. The OS protects services from unauthorized access, especially termination. All access to a service has to be filtered through the SCM (Service Control Manager).

Is it possible to transform a VCL app to a service? Has that anything to do with TService?? Can i do it through InnoSetup using the Delphi-Code that comes with it Somehow???
