If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry.
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

So is it a part of this virus ---> "explorer.exe"? Will it be resolved exactly as it was when deleting this virus?
Also, the easy solution to detecting this problem is that your computer will operate normally after you run task manager, correct?.
Generally, caution, techniques have become sophisticated and traditional methods are no longer viable.
