Why can this be useful?
If you don't want a user using your program with another one then you can use this function to set your program to close; For example per say your program holds values you can have it close if it sees cheat engine open.
Closing your program, when another one opens.

I think that pretty much covers it. if you have any questions feel free to ask, but if you want to flame I would prefer you wouldn't, and I am sure I could of done it a better way, but should I spend time editing to make it look professional, when it works as it is.
