This question has been asked before, but no-one seems to have had an
answer to it. I'm wondering whether (and hoping that) that has
changed.
I've noticed an increasing tendency for processes to be "unkillable".
Under an Admin login, you:
- Go to Task Manager,
- Find the process that has gone feral,
- Click on [End Process],
- Get the dialog that tells you "WARNING: Terminating a process can
cause undesired results",
- Click on the [Yes] button (MS please note; the correct caption for
that button should be [I'm running this machine, not you, just do what
I bloody tell you to do]) and...
- nothing happens. The process just keeps ticking away merrily,
completely ignoring you.

Try process explorer from sysinternals.
