Is there any way to track wm_messge (or wm_command) of other proccess?

My computer got a virus that closes google chrome every time I open it. I tried every related tools and malware removal I found in internet but the problem still lasts.

Now I want to create a tool(with C#.NET) that tracks other processes(or at least a chrome process that I am going to lunch with my tool) wm_message(s)(or wm_command) to see which process sends wm_message to close it and after that going to remove it.

Is there any way to get wm_messages that a process receive ?

Solution

  • I'm sorry to hear about that virus.

    I would have a look at API monitor (http://www.rohitab.com/apimonitor). You should be able to listen to WM commands of specific processes using that application

    Spy++ can also be used.

    InterSpy (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3923/InterSpy-An-integrated-Windows-message-trace-and-f) can also trace the calls
