  • SAFErating from user VH for file E:\TOOLS\RKill\rkill.exe (Variant: 10668580)

    RKill.exe is safe So in summary, RKill just kills processes, imports a Registry file that removes incorrect file associations, removes and backs up proxy settings, and fixes policies that stop us from using certain tools. When done, RKill will then create a log listing all processes that were terminated while the program was running. Please note that this will include processes that were terminated manually by the user as well as RKill. I have whitelisted some processes that are commonly shown as being killed even though they weren't terminated by Rkill, including the program itself, to avoid confusion that a legitimate process was terminated. Other than what is listed above, it does nothing else. RKill can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/
