im not sure what you mean by dispose():

where would i put that and why. im not trying to dispose a proccess that has been created by me

foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process proc in System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(textBox1.Text))
{
    proc.CloseMainWindow();
    proc.WaitForExit(10000);
    if (!proc.HasExited)
    {
        proc.Kill();
    }
    proc.Dispose();
}

what the current cpu load is ( im still not sure how to do that)

System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter cpuCounter = new System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter();

cpuCounter.CategoryName = "Processor";
cpuCounter.CounterName = "% Processor Time";
cpuCounter.InstanceName = "_Total";

 string actusage =cpuCounter.NextValue()+"%";

This may sound a like a silly question, but wouldn't it make sense if one was not allowed to kill a process programaticaly?

I mean for security and also "moral" reasons. If we a are to compare software process with human individual, that would mean murder.
