process blocking

Discussions tagged with 'process blocking' on WindowsForum.com focus on situations where antivirus software or Windows itself blocks a specific process from running or being deleted. In one example, a user reports that Trend Micro Titanium repeatedly blocks a process called appsvc.exe, identified as TROJ_HIDEFIL.BMC, and the user cannot delete the file despite being logged in as an administrator. The process attempts to launch every five seconds and cannot be permanently stopped via Task Manager. Common themes include malware detection, permission errors, and difficulties removing blocked executables. Users seek troubleshooting steps to regain control over blocked processes.
