  1. I've updated Photoshop CC 2014 and many other updates CC today
  2. I rebooted my machine (Windows 7 Pro)
  3. Icon clicked on start Photoshop
  4. Photoshop is not started, but Photoshop.exe appears in Windows Task Manager (RTM) tab process (about 8 MB of memory used)
  5. If I click on Photoshop icon to start several times, many EXEs appear in WTM
  6. Tried right click on Photoshop.exe (s) and ending the process, and then run Photoshop (same result) again

• 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 Csrss.exe is a critical system process may not be withdrawn without causing problems with Windows in Task Manager.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.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows

• Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

  I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

  IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

  The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

  There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
  What antivirus applications you scan with?

  If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

  Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

  Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

  Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

  You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

  Hi MAMARDA,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  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. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  b. If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  When you are in safe mode, follow the steps mentioned above to complete the restore of the system.

  Hope the helps of information.
  Please post back and we do know.

• 29 Firefox fails to come out properly and continues to run in the Task Manager.

  It is a continuation of a thread found here:
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997448 by Compumind.

  I pointed out that I had the same experience, especially at the opening of the email links in Thunderbird. I reported also that forced me to go back to 28 FF.

  Moses responded by top wire and suggested:
  (1) download a fresh installer of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) the release of Firefox.

  (3) rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  I followed these instructions carefully but no joy. When installing 29 FF, not only refused to leave (using "exit") and continue to run in the Task Manager up until I killed him after the opening of links in Thunderbird, but I find that he refused to come out after a simple navigation and links.

  Moses had asked that I didn't answer in the original thread, so I re-post here.

  In my view, that there is a serious bug. With Firefox 28... no problem don't except a minor that I have indicated here:
  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002089

  Yet once I am obliged to 28 FF, although I miss the nice interface and security patches, I need to have a browser that works properly. My wife never even saw the Manager of the tasks before so that's the problem.

  In addition, "guesses" made with this post, the only other thing usual outside that I do, is to have a security policy about cookies (accept by default... I make exceptions for cookies I want to keep and have several that are "allow only for the session.") I also FF the value delete history of navigation at the exit, but that takes a fraction of a second.

  I look forward to when this matter can be addressed successfully and I am able to use 29 FF (and out properly... I can't wait for my wife to follow all of these instructions and it often close manually in the Manager of tasks... or what I want to do this.)

  Good luck for all Mozilla projects. Having installed 29 FF twice and then back return 28 twice, I'll wait and see how this plays out. Please don't send me the standard "start in safe mode", 'restart with disabled modules', 'reset Firefox' stuff (the last time that completely destroyed my browser). I don't think that is what is happening.

  Moses added that there is a problem with the e-mail notifications passing by, so take your time, friends.

  I think now (temporarily) this bug or problem has its roots in "history leaving Compensation."

  I made the leap after a few game with 29 PortableFirefox and reading the blog post linked here:

  [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../997918#answer-566755]

  .. .and installed 29 FF on my previous FF28 on my box. I unchecked the "clear history on exit" which was only to delete my history, not cookies or anything else, cor - el. My setting should not accept cookies unless I make an exception. Until the FF developers find a way to do this is functional, I'll just have to manually delete the history.

  Furthermore, John99, you want to maybe privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown set to 'False', not 'true' If you want to stop the automatic deletion of the history at the exit (attempt).

  I've been running for about 6 hours. without experiencing the bug 'suspended '. So, I can live with that for now until this bug is fixed. It should be fixed... browsers are supposed to be able to do things like that.

  On the other hand, I could find things go wrong... but so far I'm not having a problem.

  I for several hours and will let you know later if things change.

  Kind regards

  Windows 7 HP 64 bit.  (sp1)

  Google Update is running in the Task Manager, although I have not Google chrome opened.  My pc is running slowly, my network is slow.  Its bad enough I can't install programs via a disc more (which didn't need internet connection or speed), but to have windows and other services that run in the background continuously, who do not have something productive and I cannot control drives me crazy.    I need to disable or stop the services, tasks, programs that run several times and are not necessary.  Some do not stop little matter what I do or restart even if disabled.   I ran antivirus, malware software software and nothing shows ever.

  As an administrator:

  I disabled (via the services)

  1 Google update service (gupdatem)

  2 Googe Update service (gupdate)

  But I still Googleupdate.exe * 32 running.   I check and these both are disabled.  So is there a service control for programs and services 86 bit 64-bit and 32-bit?  And how to get there?  Or is it in software?
