From the post:

>One reason to use the Task Manager in Windows is to see if any of the apps running on your computer are misbehaving or using a disproportionate amount of resources. But what do you do when the misbehaving app is the Task Manager itself? After a recent Windows update, some users (including Windows Latest) noticed that closing the Task Manager window was actually failing to close the app, leaving the executable running in memory. More worryingly, each time you open the Task Manager, it spawns a new process on top of the old one, which you can repeat essentially infinitely (or until your PC buckles under the pressure).

Probably deliberately programmed as such so that their paki cousins back home have an easier time extorting money when they have remote access over some old persons computer when one can no longer ctrl+alt+del and just close a running process.

Exactly what I came to say.
