Csrss.exe file in the Task Manager without a user name or to the description

I was told by a Yahoo tech, which was supposed to come back to me in my locked e-mail account, that it is a virus. I did some checking and found a response (from the forum) who said: if I'm trying to complete the process and get a warning window pop up, it's a legitimate file (I get the window). If I right click on it, nothing comes. Has verified the Virus, malware check, used the scanner Microsoft and even a (Speed up PC) supposed to get rid of this (if it is a virus), all come out clean. Yet, the guy from Yahoo (I called once again, argues that it is a virus. I'm confused, ideas?

Hello

Csrss.exe is a Windows file that is stored in the directory c:\windows\system32 which corresponds to the description of the file: "Client Server Runtime process.

The csrss.exe file included with Microsoft Windows is not spyware, a Trojan or a virus. However, as any file on your computer, it can be damaged by a virus, worm or Trojan. Antivirus programs can detect and clean this file if it has been infected.

It is not safe to remove csrss.exe processes from the Task Manager. Csrss.exe is a critical system process may not be withdrawn without causing problems with Windows in Task Manager.

Hope this information is useful.

    Csrss.exe is a knowledge trojen or spyware to invade the PC security

    Hi Albert,

    Csrss.exe, this is the part of the user mode of the subsystem Win32 (Win32.sys being the kernel-mode portion). CSRSS means client/server run-time Subsystem and is an essential subsystem that must run continuously. CSRSS is responsible for console windows, creating or deleting threads, and some parts of the 16-bit virtual MS-DOS environment.

    Winlogon.exe is the part of Windows Login subsystem. This process is responsible for managing the security key sequence (by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete before you see the logon box), loading of user profiles, the locking system when a screensaver is running and check the activation key for the operating system.

    I suggest you to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if there is no virus.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    This confirms my suspicions you have (or had) malware. This version of csrss.exe is for service Pack 2 of Windows XP.
    You really need to run MBAM.
    But despite this, if you run at the SP2 level, it is unclear what might make its way onto your PC. There are some out there extremely difficult to detect rootkits. You find you might need to perform a clean installation. If you would rather fight infection, you can always look for guided help:

    I would like to ask you a few questions in order to get a better understanding of this issue so that we can better help you.

    (a) what version of Windows 7 use you?

    (b) what is the exact error message you are getting?

    Method 1: You can also try to perform a file system (scan SFC) verification tool. This tool will fix the system files are corrupted.

    Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

    3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

    5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

    7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    Method 2: If this is a recent problem that has developed you can try to perform a system restore and check if it works very well.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next

    4. click on finish

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    For more information, please follow the below given link:

    How to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212/

    Method 3: you can try to start safe mode and restore the system, if you are unable to do it in normal mode.

    For a safe boot, you can follow the below given steps:

    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    2. do one of the following:

    a. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears.

  • 2 apparently valid csrss.exe files

    I have 2 versions of the csrss. running exe file. I seem to have one different problem than others with this issue. In the Task Manager: show the user as 'System', both under Win32, the two will allow me to complete the process, but I get the BSOD with the two, in the properties they are exactly the same... even the same install date. It uses 1-2 mb while another uses 5-6 mb, shows 0 cpu. Only reason why I checked, is that I have installed a new virus protector that won't start. Their support has called for one is a Trojan horse that weaken their software. Everything else seems OK, no slow downs or software problems. Operating system is Win7 64 bit.

    You get a csrss.exe plus one for each connected user. You will also have an another csrss.exe conhost.exe running if you start a command prompt.

    To restart in safe mode, restart normally, and when the system resets you can press the F8 key. It is point immediately after the screen logo POST or manufacturer initial of the system, and just before Windows starts to load. This will give you a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode.

  • Subvis call go dynamically within an exe file (avoiding the error 1003)

    Hello

    I use an architecture where the main program (compiled into an exe) can be supplied with a user-'plugins', which are collections of screw types inside a folder named especially compared to the exe. They can be called in the exe via 'open reference vi' provided by the corresponding strict vi types and corresponding relative paths.

    I want to avoid having to include one of the plugins in some way in the application builder, because users must be able to create own plugins that the request is totally ignore during the generation.

    In principle, this approach works rather well, since these plugins are not extremely complex, but sometimes, I get an error 1003 when loading a plugin.

    I have read many old posts on this error in this particular situation, mainly using versions of LV 7 or 8 (I use 2012). It was suggested to build a source distribution for each plugin, including everything that is used from vi.lib, instr.lib and user.lib. Indeed, it helped in my particular case - however, it bloats the plugin 'distribution' (which consists originally only a couple of the screws of the user) extremely and complicates the development user side.

    Now some good plugins run from in the exe without having to build a distribution source for them (they still use many vi.lib live) while others don't, and I have no idea why...

    These plugins are wrappers for hardware drivers that allow to control any hardware instrument within the main application via a certain API. So, in a particular case, a plugin that produces the error 1003 uses VISA series features (everything inside... \vi.lib\Instr\_visa.llb) and one without error doesn't (yet he uses several features of... \vi.lib\Utility\...).

    I can solve VISA problems in a simple way by including (only) the VISA-vis opportunity (and typedefs) inside the plugin folder and explicitly link to them (i.e. replace the VISA-vis of vi.lib with those copied to the folder of the plugin - I guess that's also what the source distribution).

    However, I'm confused why certain plugins with work of related vi.lib while others screws produce an error 1003 unless these special screws are explicitly distributed and connected with them...

    Oh and just for completeness: all plugins are working fine if the callee in the development system, the problem occurs only if called from an exe file.

    Do plug-ins that work depend on the screw in vi.lib who are already part of your executable file because the main program uses these same screws?

    All the screws that your plugin needs must be available, if applicable can mean to be already loaded into memory (for the main of the application or another plugin), or can be found on the disk and load.  An executable includes all the screws of vi.lib - it includes only those he uses (and the screws that are marked always 'include' in the build specification).  I suspect that the plugins that work only dependent vi.lib screws which are also used by the main executable file.
