The code Karkat ran creates among other things a kernel sprite for them to prototype. The best thing to protoype the kernel with (apparantly you lose if you use anything else) is a dead lusus. Neither the game nor the kernel sprite kills lususes. Only the trolls' utter ineptness and possible malicious deliberation kills the lusus. It's just that those lususes (lusii?) are then coincidentally prime material for prototyping with.
On the other hand, the code Karkat ran is part of a larger program written in Ath~ by an unknown demon (quite possibly Lord English) under which all the trolls actions, ineptness, maliciousness, and coincidental killing of lususes is determined. To be precise, the entire universe the trolls live in was created for the purposes of destroying it to fulfill Lord English's unrevealed plans. So yes, you could say overall the "program" killed the lusus, but it didn't do so using anything in the code Karkat ran, because then the trolls could detect that something fishy was going on instead of just blindly attributing it to coincidence, leading to a system crash.
On the other hand, Andrew Hussie is the artist of this comic, and none of the suggestions he's received have involved killing the lusus, that I know of, so he's got to be the one killing 'em all.
