KillEmAll (built on d7x technology)
KillEmAll is a ‘panic’ button with an ‘ask questions later’ attitude, designed to neutralize, terminate, and later identify all non-essential running programs.
Great for quickly closing unwanted apps, system inspection, and even malware removal!
KillEmAll is free for both personal and commercial usage.
The Nutshell:
Specifically KillEmAll terminates every (currently running) program on your computer except essential Windows processes.
- The best usage case for KillEmAll to most users, is to close all open web browser windows if you get a suspected malicious popup while visiting a website.
- The the reason you don’t simply close or “X out” the popup is because malicious code can be run even if you click the X button — it is after all just another button, you might as well be clicking “OK“ or “Yes, please do what you want with my PC…“ but if you don’t click anything and KillEmAll does the work, forcing the application’s process to close without any additional code execution.
- Other more mundane tasks include the advantage of quickly closing all applications before performing maintenance on your PC, general troubleshooting, or playing resource intensive games.
- Obviously, any data used by the applications being closed, if not previously saved, will be lost!
KillEmAll Mini: v19.4.15 (Released April 15th, 2019)
KillEmAll Mini is a no frills implementation of the fully featured KillEmAll which has no user interface, no update capabilities, no definitions file capabilities, it doesn’t show you what apps it terminated, etc..
Simply run the .exe and it terminates unnecessary programs running under any standard user account. If your Windows is configured with UAC enabled (default) then you can right-click and choose Run as Administrator to kill all other programs running under an Administrator/System account.
KillEmAll Mini.exe will display a prompt when completed, but it can be scripted to display no prompt by passing “/auto” to it on the command line. e.g. “KillEmAll Mini.exe /auto”
What’s New:
- v19.4.15 – Now terminates processes roughly 5x faster!
Current Known Issues:
- (Windows XP/2003 Only) When terminating a process, 1 MiB or more may be leaked from each of the target’s threads that are terminated. The NT kernel in 5.2 and below does not free the thread’s initial stack, causing the resource leak. We are not considering a fix due to the age of these operating systems and the very minor impact on the system.

KillEmAll (Full Version): v19.3.11 (Released March 3rd, 2019)
This version is exactly what you can expect to find as part of the d7x tech tool, however a few of the more powerful features available when examining target files (e.g. Delete Permanently, Prevent Program from Running, etc.) have been disabled since this is a product which may be used by non-technical home users.
New Features:
- Uninstall programs
- Block programs from running
- Block programs from internet access (via Windows Firewall)
New Features Planned:
- Missing dUninstaller features: Delete Files and Registry Keys/Values by definition file, and scripting via command line arguments (both to be included in a paid version only; all registered dUninstaller license owners will receive this free with their existing license.)
