Sorry i was panickin and killed the process this the only screen shot i have

If it's a virus presumably it will return. Keep an eye (or ear) on your fan, especially after a restart.

Id recommend you install "top" (I know nix funny names) and if run it, will show processes sortable by resource. But I think you are fine.
