So I tried to run a command utility from Microsoft's Sysinternals suite, pskill, to terminate a virus scan process which was not responding. Since the process was an antivirus though, I, even as the Admin, did not have access to terminate it. So I tried running pskill from the RunAsSystem tool in technician toolbox, but technician toolbox, for whatever reason, kept telling me it could not find the file. I even used the "copy path" feature in explorer to place full file path in clipboard and pasted it into the prompt. Still couldn't find it. Tried even copying it to windows directory: still couldn't find it. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Hi,
I would say that is perfectly normal because most Antivirus use a lot of different techniques to avoid be killed by malware processes... in the end the user is blocked to.

You can usually end Applications including scans in Task manager.
