MSEPX - Microsoft Security Essentials Process Exclusion Utility

Introduction

This article describes coding a C++ Win32 based utility application that allows the user to use point and click interface to add process source file names (the path and name of the executable) to the process exclusion list of Microsoft Security Essentials.  It creates and uses a Windows service, uses multiple service threads, has a custom drag and drop, and does registry editing. 

Please excuse the fact that the code is far from commercial quality. This was a two or three day hobby exercise for my personal amusement, but is a fairly well tested effort so it should work correctly. Much of the code was copied from third parties (most if not all of the drag and drop source is based on the MSDN Magazine, October 2004 drag and drop code written by Paul DiLascia: Create Client Windows, Drag and Drop Between Listboxes) with the bulk of it based on examples from MSDN.

This program was written in C++ with Win32 libraries in Microsoft Visual Studio 8 and has been tested using Windows XP Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate.
