windows NT and windows 2000 ship with a handy system analysis utility called task Manager. task manager is able to list all running processes (applications and services) However, there is a downside - task Managers "End Process" feature isnt always able to kill a process for you! This isnt just frustrating, it also poses a security problem - what if the process you want to kill is a trojan?
