As we know, windows provide a tool which able to kill a running process on our computer. This tool know as task manager. Task manager can be accessed by pressing the combination of Ctrl + Alt + Del button on our keyboard. By using task manager, you can terminate running processes or programs with a single klik. But, what if the task manager disabled by a virus? How can you terminate the virus process?
There is another way to kill or terminate running process on a computer. You can use another windows tool to do so. You can use command prompt (CMD) to terminate running process on a computer. Here’s the steps how to kill running process through command prompt:
- Open Command Prompt by clicking on Start »» Run and type “cmd” (without quotes) then hit Enter.
- On the CMD windows type “tasklist” (without quotes) then press Enter. The function of this command is to show the list of running processes on the computer.
- At the image above, you can see each process has it own Image Name (File Name) and PID. We will use the process image name or it’s PID to terminate it.
To kill a process you can use “taskkill” command, combine with process image name or process PID. For example, if you want to kill explorer process, you can use this command “taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F” or “taskkill /PID 1776 /F”. The function of “/F” parameter is to specifies to forcefully terminate the process (es).

For example, if you want to kill Notepad (PID 776), Explorer (1776) and Calculator (PID 1340) at once, you can use this command “taskkill /PID 776 /PID 1776 /PID 1340 /F”.

Im sorry for the possible off-topic Folks, but could you inform me which web host you are using right now I have a problem because my current web hosting company godaddy.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 100 visitors per day. Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting company? I am checking LCN at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space? I have contacted them and they say something like 500gb disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 1000GB drive so can continue uploading.. What do you think about it? Any ideas and web hosting company name suggestions are much appreciated.
Recently, I use Bluehost to host 6 website. One of them get 3500 visitor per day. It’s OK. I’m happy with it. Almost no downtime. They provides unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domain and subdomains. I think, you should use them to host your site.
