2.Can easily end those processes which are foreign,unwanted and can also end non responsive programs by selecting the program from the list of programs running and click on button "End Process"

3.In some cases the virus doesn't allow us to stop the removable disks.In this situation anything with a higher  cpu usage on idle time can be detected as virus and should be ended to Delete that virus from Disk

4.Having trouble with formatting your Removable disk ,then if you don't know the name of virus program running,then open task manager and navigate to processes,note the suspected programs and try deleting virus or formatting Drive and note the increasing Cpu usage program.select it and click End process and immediately try formatting or deleting those files.(Note:Close all other programs and keep system idle for some time to note CPU time ,other than System idle process)
