To kill an application process:

---
    Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process
    Dim pList() As Process
   
    pList = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")
    For Each proc In pList
        Dim resp As MsgBoxResult
        resp = MsgBox("Terminate " & proc.ProcessName & "?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Terminate?")
        If resp = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
            proc.Kill()
        End If
    Next

In your case, you would use GetProcesses() instead of GetProcessesByName().
