Unlike regular programs, parasites run their processes without your knowledge. The most efficient way to kill a malicious process is to use the built-in Task Manager in Windows XP or Vista.
Here’s how you do it:
1. Press “Alt+Ctrl+Delete“, then click on “Task Manager”. You can also launch the Task Manager instantly if you press “Ctrl + Shift + ESC” simultaneously.
2. Select the process that you want to stop, then click on “End Process”.

Is the process still present?
Is the above guide too difficult for you?
