My new comuter is running McAfee's and is causing some playback issues with Zoomplayer. I don't want to completely remove the antivirus program, but I would like to have Girder close it upon the startup of Zoomplayer and then restart it upon exiting Zoomplayer. I know how to establish Eventstrings to correspond with what MainLobby is sending via Internet Event Server.

The only way that I can see to exit out of the McAfee's moniitoring program istby right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar and then selecting "exit". I then get a popup verifying that I want to shut the program down.

What is the best way to get this to work. I COULD just always remember to exit before starting Zoomplayer, but I'm not the only one who watches DVDs, and I can't guarantee that I won't forget myself.

Thanks

Using Mike C:s plugin LUA System Functions you can kill running services.

Take a look at TerminateProcess Function.

or maybe better:
use run program functionality in girder to run something like
net stop mcafee
and
net start mcafee

to see a list of service names just use net start in a cmd.exe. enclose the name in " if it contains spaces.
