I use VBS to kill these processes,the VBS cannot kill these either.

import wmi
from time import sleep

c = wmi.WMI ()
process_watcher = c.Win32_Process.watch_for("creation")
while True:
	new_process = process_watcher()
	if new_process.Caption == 'notepad.exe':
		print "start killing.."
		sleep(5)
		result = new_process.terminate()
		print "killed"
We must start the notepad.exe manually, then (1) kill the notepad.exe
by this code.
(2)we kill the notepad.exe before this code manually. Both will result
in errors.
