As for me, I've tried EVERYTHING. ANYTHING. But the process has never been killed. It's just terminated, but not killed. So many times thannot, the process is still there, cannot be killed, and still consuming a HELL LOT of resources. It was terminated though, as most of it's resources are gone, but the some. Coupled that with crappy Windows thread management, and you get an idea how crap Windows is. The only way to kill a process is to press the reset button on your computer, sacrificing every other process that should be running just fine.

No sense in runnign an extra app in the background. But there are times wihen ending a process like that won't cut it, in which case there's this free app called Process Explorer from sysinternals that works great. Helps to unlock "in use" files too.

Will definitely try it. Just hope it would work properly with my Vista. I need this task killer..sometimes it takes time after pressing your ctrl alt del keys for the task manager to show up.
