You get them when you don’t free properly, or you kill your process but the Excel doesn’t get terminated(which is almost certain when you abnormally terminate).

Anyway, this simple executable will iterate all your Excel processes and kill them.

Note: Built in 4.0 .NET framework.

KillExcel.exe

Happy Coding!
