Dead programs can linger in your computer

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Just like a bad horror movie, dead programs can leave behind 'zombie processes'. When an application finishes executing but its parent software refuses to read its exit status, the operating system keeps the deceased task lingering in the process table. They consume no resources but sit there staring at the system administrator until the machine is rebooted.
