I have 13 times zenity with status Zombie in my system-monitor. Could there be any virus or what else could it be?

I have read this: What are zombie processes? but I can't do anything with it regarding zenity
which is just a helper tool for programmers as far I understood and I never used that programm.

Thank you Mark, the answer in your linked helped me to get rid of it.

ps l gave only two lines but pstree -p $USER spit out a long tree list and I could find the parent was marco (a part of d.conf in Ubuntu Mate): I had created some shortcuts in d.fonf editor.

I had terminated marco in system-monitor and all zenity's were gone. Stupidly I did this while the terminal still was running and all the windows were messed up, so I had to reboot. But now all is fine and I learned something new again :)
