There is a piece of malware floating around called Security Tool. This malicious program is designed to look like antivirus software, but it is quite the opposite. Security Tool locks down your windows shell and prevents you from doing pretty much anything, and automatically terminates task manager or any known anti-spyware that is capable of removing it. Google searches turned up a lot of disappointment and sales pitches for anti-spyware that I don't want/need, so I wrote this script that does a fine job of nuking the whole program.

The top section of this code was ripped from the examples in AHK's help file.

First off, very nice tool!

My cousin had this virus, and it took me about 30 minutes to actually find the executable.

However, I see one problem, you if statement checks if and integer, however on ones computer, there may be another integer only process name, which may delete or cause some sort of malfunction.

Again, I like it!

Thanks for the kind word Indeed, I considered that the integer issue may cause some havoc, but I reasoned that those cases are rare, plus any software using numeric-only processes may be malicious as well. Even so, it would be a small price to pay to rid a system of this foul program.
