```
### PowerShell
```powershell
Stop-Process -Id 1234 -Force
Get-Process -Name "malware" | Stop-Process -Force
```
## Windows Persistence Cleanup
### Registry Run Keys
```cmd
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v MalwareName /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v MalwareName /f
```
### Scheduled Tasks
```cmd
schtasks /Delete /TN "MalwareTask" /F
schtasks /Query /FO CSV /V /NH
```
### Services
