While working for a company which used a browser based VPN which needed to have different pinned components in memory. That caused difficulties when having to mostly re-login due to their startup script. I created this PowerShell script to kill specific processes, if running, and launch IE to my companies’ web page.
Get-Process | where {
-or $_.Name -like "Juniper*"`__abENT__lt;code__abENT__gt;-or $___abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;#46;Name -like __abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;quot;dsHostChecker*__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;abENT__abENT__#95;__abENT__#95;quot;__abENT__lt;__abENT__#8260;code__abENT__gt;`

| Stop-Process -Verbose -Force
$ie = New-Object -com internetexplorer.application;
$ie.visible = $true;
$ie.navigate("Https://secure.MyCompany.com");
If you have any failures try running this script with admin privileges on the box.
