There must be methods to prevent a task being killed. My Avast anti-virus software cannot be killed in the Task manager. It says access denied. Probably a system service or something like that.

The principle being that it's the users machine and they are meant to choose what runs and what doesn't. There are illegitimate means such as writing a rootkit (i.e. a piece of malware) to hide processes but that will likely get your application blacklisted by modern antivirus software.
