CSRSS virus or program needed?
I have a file that says windows csrss. the properties say it's from microsoft, but I heard it is a virus / trojan worm. How will I know if it's one way or the other? I use windows XP Professional 32
Hello
Where do you see the Csrss.exe file?
Csrss.exe is the part of the Win32 subsystem user mode; Win32.sys is the kernel-mode. 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 implementation of some parts of the 16-bit virtual MS-DOS environment.
Note: The Csrss.exe file is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
If you see this file in a different location, it may be an a virus, spyware, Trojan or worm.
You can run a Microsoft Security Scanner to make sure that the computer is free of infections:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 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 must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

is it possible to have all my anti virus/malware programs to all work together without one stop on the other?
I doubt it.
You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and conflicts between programs and can affect all installed antivirus product efficiency. Even if you try to have more than one product installed, with an asset and another disabled, disabled product will probably still active components and/or installation of the drivers installed that will conflict with any other antivirus program.

Virus or not? All the icons disappeared and the programs need to be reinstalled.
I turned on my computer this morning to find my wallpaper completely changed to the hp one. Also, half of my icons disappeared from my office. Programs that remained must be reinstalled for some reason any. Help, please. I just want to know what happened and make sure that I do not have a virus. Thank you.
Hello
There is no way sure of 100% to prevent it from happening again, and we don't really know the cause.
A glitch like this is sometimes due to an update (Windows, the utility of the Antivirus system manufacturer, or)
another program) and the cure is just another reboot, as it was this time. Although the actual cause is
still unknown.Good for backups of your data, switch off the machine, and follow these steps.

Infected by a virus and programs are empty
I think we've got a virus. Of course, I can get on the internet, but in a weird way. My office is empty and "all programs" says "empty." I need to try the system restore, but cannot access it. I've tried everything. I don't know that much about computers, but I'm trying to avoid taking it to be fixed.
Try to run the restore of the system at the command prompt:
"How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with the command prompt in Windows XP"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449 >It looks like your icons are hidden. Change your settings to show hidden files:
Panel-> folder-> View (tab) Options
Check the box "show the hidden files and folders".
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"
OK your way out.If you find that your files are hidden, and then right click on them-> properties-> uncheck "hidden". -> OK

Curious about your reason to download this tool, first because it is delivered every month and the other because it analyzes only for a particular number and types of malicious software. Further analysis using the same base engine and the definition of anti-malware as Microsoft Security Essentials antimalware software can be done with the Security Microsoft Scanner .
Hope I did this confusion. See the following article for the comparison of the Microsoft Security progams.
