Also, another excellent program is PSTools from www.sysinternals.com

There is a program in that called PSKill that allows you to kill a
process even if Task Manager will not let you. This is useful for
killing virus processes and then removing the file. You can also remove
the file if it is locked by using task manager to kill explorer.exe and
start cmd. Navigate to the virus and delete it and then start explorer
again. :)
