Some times applications, processes and even windows itself decides on their own for no reason at all that they don't want to work any more and freezes the system. They can be manually terminated or restarted by using task manager.
It can also be used to stop some viruses from wrecking havoc inside the system and allowing them to be manually deleted after stopping their process first, that is why most malwares tries to disable task manager as it is a critical part of windows protection.
Process Explorer is a good task manager alternative if you are already infected with such a virus and your Task manager disabled.
But if you just try to execute it on a usb flash drive there is good chance that you usb will also get infected and process explorer will not run or become infected with a virus as well
Just burn and run it from a cd or dvd along with your other antivirus tools and do an evil laugh while the virus helplessly tries to infect a cd rom disk.
(note: don't use a cd or dvd re writable cause it would be possible to infect that as well if the virus is mean enough, you will look stupid and waste a perfectly good evil laugh).
