See "man ps" for explanation of the letter "I":

Code:

I    Idle kernel thread

You cannot kill kernel threads with kill, don't worry about them.

I dont know what man ps is.. I'm a windows 30+ year veteran and only a 5+year old noob on linux.
Is there any programs that can kill kernel threads as it can be good to know if i have other processes not responding on kill command.
when i get a process i dont know if its good or bad, i want to kill it in 5 red seconds just to be on the safe side.
It's better with a system crash then having a running malware for hours
