Many virus' will not, but spyware and adware will appear in the process list in xp and 2000... if u have xp, go to start and run... type in msconfig click enter... click the last tab startup look on the list for programs that you don't know... most of the bad stuff are exe files... sitting in a c: folder not in the c:\windows\system32.... a good idea is to run a spyware and adware programs... remember that there isn't one program out there that can protect you from everthing or remove evetything.. you might want to use a few programs like spybot and windows defender ... when using spybot search and destroy enable tea time...

Depending on the virus it either will or won't. Best thing is to load some Anti Virus software, this will eliminate the need to even view if it is running as a process.

Most virus's will, a majority of them aren't that complex, however rootkits are becoming more popular. They allow the virus to patch your Windows and hide the process along with the location of the file. There is also file injection technology where the virus will open up another program and hide itself in it.

Sophisticated virus will not show up in Task Manager. However, there are some hand-crafted programs which you can see INVISIBLE programs running.
But USUALLY you can see them in registry (RUN at startup)...

i think of they conceal themselves in many varieties. They get into many distinctive application folders.they get into the registry. in case you understand what day and time the virus put in itself and you'd be able to discover a application or application records that have been created on an identical time, that must be a solid guess. removing a pandemic or different malware could be a demanding enterprise, in case you delete or terminate something, you would be able to desire to nicely known what it is, or you ought to perform a little harm on your working equipment, in case you eliminate something your equipment needs. I doubt , despite in case you understand what the technique is, that terminating it, in activity supervisor, will do away with it.

Absolutely not.
The hallmark of a virus is stealth.
