MSDN Says
SYMPTOMS
A process continues to exist after a call to the TerminateProcess function on that process has successfully returned.
CAUSE
When there is a request to terminate a process through the TerminateProcess function, Windows stops all the user-mode activity of the target process. However, the target process cannot actually exit until all kernel-mode activity specific to that process is complete. This means that the target process continues to exist until all of its threads have left kernel-mode and all pending IO has been canceled.
This situation occurs as the result of a device driver not releasing a thread or not canceling IO. The process continues to exist until the IO completes and all threads in the process are released from kernel mode.
GOOD LUCK
