Questions about csrss.exe
I have two questions on the process 'csrss.exe' running Vista Business 32 b SP2.
- In a variety of sites on the web, I read that having two processes csrss.exe running is an indication that a virus or malware are present, posing as one of the two images csrss.exe in memory. If I bring up the Task Manager and a quick glance, I see only a single process csrss.exe (PID = 652, private memory = 1332K. Field name of the image, the command line path and Description are white). However, if I hit the button "Show processes from all users", a second process csrss.exe appears, on PID = 596, private memory = 1200K (PID = 652 is now using 1 412 K or private working set memory). No process uses any CPU at the moment, as far as I know. Both display the same values following the different fields in the table:
- Username = SYSTEM
- Name=C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe image path
- Line=C:\Windows\system32\csrss.exe command ObjectDirectory = \Windows SharedSection = 1024, 12288, 512 Windows = SubSystemType = Windows ServerDll = basesrv, 1 ServerDll = winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization, 3 ServerDll = winsrv. ConserverDllInitialization, 2 = Off MaxRequest ProfileControl
- Description = Client Server Runtime Process
When I researched the csrss.exe file c:\ system, I found the following files csrss.exe. 'Properties' information after each. None of these files listed all the previous versions tab "Previous Versions":
C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe:
File Client Server Runtime process Type Application version 6.0.6001.18000 file Description product name of the Microsoft Windows Operating System version 6.0.6001.18000 Copyright Microsoft Corporation product. All rights reserved size 6.00 KB updated Day 2008-01-19 03:33 language English (United States)

All rights reserved updated dimensions 7,50 KB day 02/11/2006 language English (United States)
In addition, here are the MD5 signatures for each file:
c:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe abca209eba02cb59233614db83b4f50d c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-csrss_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_58e3e3d7e415ae4c\csrss.exe abca209eba02cb59233614db83b4f50d c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-csrss_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_56ad21dbe72a9d78\csrss.exe 117b7c8a8b026a5dce5e3180ed05e823
So the new version is identical in both of its directories. But there is an older version (6.0.6000.16386) hang out there.
One last thing: when I look into a review process advantage 3rd, 596 PID and PID 652 tool appear as:
Version 6.0.6001.18000 time: 2008-01-19 03:33
And when I run the equivalent of the UNIX 'strings' command against them, I find that both contain the following (among others):
version = "5.1.0.0.
Is this normal? Or do I have to remove the old file csrss.exe?
- Csrss.exe does need access to the wider internet, or only certain addresses in the range of the internet on my home network behind my firewall/router; or only the loopback address? Because Zonealarm says sometimes csrss.exe is asked for internet access. And when I allow it, it okays two access my local network and to the internet as a whole. This behavior is normal? For now, I have disabled access to the wider internet of csrss.exe, and I'm limiting access to machines behind my firewall. I would like to be able to restrict it to my loopback address. Nothing wrong with that?

A question about SearchIndexer.exe.
I followed my performance computer periodically since the first day I fight the laptop. It has 4 GB of RAM and runs on Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 bit edition. Lately, I've noticed a few oddities with a certain process and its services. It's called SearchIndexer.exe.
Usually, my use of the idle physical memory is usually in the low range 30 percentile. One day, I noticed that the physical memory usage is much more high by about 6 or more %. I check it out and noticed that SearchIndexer.exe used a memory MUCH what he usually does. He used about 120 000 kilobytes of memory.
So I decided to consult services for this process. The service was WSearch (Windows Search), normal as always. There are a few weird things past with the service... The PID of the service always changes to reboot the computer, or whenever I restart the service. I don't know if it's normal that the services change their PID, so please tell me the wrong or right. Also, I find it rather odd that the group to which the service is associated is N.A. By checking the service Explorer window, it tells me that the service is actually part of the SYSTEM Group.
So, this brings me to the final question. Is this malware process, has some sort of error, or is this normal? I have done many different AV analyses and etc and it came out clean.
Hello
Your description sounds normal.
After that initial run to index the files/folders selected on the disc, the search indexer will be run periodically of new index files and re-index the changed files.
The length of time to run and the amount of memory it uses depends on how strongly the system has been used and how many changes have been made to the file system since the last at the request of indexing.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Windows 7

HelloW please someone tell me how can I know the exact date of the download or installation of csrss on my pc. in the properties of the box, I can only find an old date (date of creation 2009) but think I didn t have this pc so... Please help me
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that you have questions about the date of download csrss.exe.
But I would like to know more information, to help you better.
(1) get any error message related to this csrss.exe process?
(2) what is the problem in the computer?
In the meantime, please refer to the below suggestion.
In fact, the csrss.exe is not a program that can be downloaded, it is rather a process in the Windows System. Thus, it would display the date of creation as the process is being created. Csrss.exe is a system process that is needed for your PC to function properly. It should not be deleted.
The Microsoft Client Server Runtime Server subsystem uses the csrss.exe. This process of management of the majority of the graphical instruction sets under the Microsoft Windows operating system. As such Csrss.exe offers the important functions of the operating system, and the Blue Screen of Death displayed may lead to his termination.
Csrss.exe threading and features of Win32 console window controls. Threading is where the application itself is divided into several simultaneous running tasks. Threads supported by csrss.exe are different
process in this son are usually included in the process, with different threads, sharing of resources within the same process. The Win32 console is plain text window in the Windows API system (programs can use the console without the need for display of the image).Additional information:
Csrss.exe
I hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to write back and we woll will be happy to help.

Why csrss.exe freezes all other programs that are running when it is active?
I don't know what to say here. I have an ASUS Intel duo Core Windows Vista OS and when I read the e-mail or watching Facebook, play WoW or just generally surf on the internet and the active process other programs freeze and I have to restart the program.
I've read several channels that talk about the possibility of malware, and I have a current copy of Norton Antivirus and Malwarebytes, more I ran the quick scan of MRT and none of these show that I have a malware.
Any suggestions?
What do you mean by activation of csrss.exe? What program you restart?
Csrss.exe is responsible for the separation and process and thread creation. I think that all activity on his part would be a symptom rather than the cause of the problem you are experiencing.
This name has been used by malware to disguise himself. You can check if this copy is the real version of Microsoft looking where he was charged with the Task Manager. Go to view > select columns, look for the command line entry. It will show as C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe if this is the true copy of Microsoft. Another thing would be malware.
You can try to use the clean boot to diagnose the cause of the problem:

I bought a Dell installation disk and I want to use it to install a better version of Windows on my Dell PC. I have windows Vista and I want to use it to update my OS Windows7 Home Premium. However, the license type is SLP:OEM and no detail... not sure what SLP: OEM means... I thought that the OS discs are the same. Someone told me no retail editions are not suitable for a new OS, but I'm confused. The disc says, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, but didn't holograms who have all MS OS disks and the disk is labeled for use with a Dell system only, if the means it will work very well on my Dell PC? The label does not which brand or model this disc is for, but said only for the Dell PC which is my PC. I'm assuming, the disk won't work on all Dells, maybe someone can offer suggestions, any help is much appreciated. Thank you!
I have a few other questions about Windows 7, can I ask you about this on your Web site? Do not know how to contact you on your website. I can see other people responding to your articles, but that's all. I thought that maybe their might be a forum to post a question... Thank you for everything.
You can comment on my site but comments will be public and it is easier to answer questions in the forums.
If you want to be more precise, you can post in the Dell Community Forums. :

There are also ways to private message me there is something I don't think that can be done by non-moderateurs on Microsoft Answers. However, I prefer answering questions on the forum:

General questions about errors in eventvwr

I have a general question about some failed modules are stored in the Windows Event Viewer.
An error leading to the crashes some applications that I've seen several times now when supporting computer problems is something like this:
(Windows error reporting) Fault bucket, Type 0, name of the event: PCA2, (...) P1: application.exe, (...)I wonder what this 'PCA2. Which is a kind of module Windows handles tasks such as allocating memory or smth. Like this? What could be the cause of these errors (physical memory problems / corrupt swap file / insufficient rights?)
Same Question for the application falls down because of "kernelbase.dll" as in:
(Application error) Failing application: application.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, (...) Failed module: KERNELBASE.dll, Version: 6.1.7601.18015, (...) Path of the failing module: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll (...)What is the .dll file and what could possibly cause kernelbase.dll Fault?
The application can be a bit buggy, but I wonder what could possibly cause these accidents and if there is a way to fix these problems - or what dev did wrong.
The two errors occur mainly on x 64 systems - especially Windows 7/vista
Kind regards
With application errors, the application is called everything first and the module he collaborated with is named second. Normally you should try to reinstall the application if you see not to repeat the mistakes. If this does not work, you go to the forum on the application to see if other users see the same error. There may be a bug in the application.
The observer of the Application event log contains Information reports (event ID: 1001) for errors where the details were sent to Microsoft for review. You will find that there are corresponding to the event ID: 1000 reports errors, either in the system or Application logs. These reports are also included in the center of the Action. Center type action in the area of research above the Start button and press ENTER. Click on the arrow pointing downwards to the right of Maintenance, and then click view reliability history. The errors reported are the Red orbs with a white cross. You can search for solutions to problems, but occasionally you get a significant response from Microsoft.
I can't tell you what it means PCA2. Google did not find a significant result. The reports themselves are not unintelligible, although I have never tried to understand the meaning of a particular report. I have extracted what, in my view, is a starting point of two reports:
Event name: PCA2 = P1: motherboard_utility_onoffchargesetup.exe P2: 4.65.0.0Event name: PCA2 = P1: setup.exe P2: 11.0.0.28844
You have the app in the boredom and the version of the file. These details have been extracted a file of information system to a computer with a card mother Gigabyte. So, you see I have a starting point, if I wanted to determine the cause of a failure.
I will say before you go dive deep into each event ID: 1001 report that many are not easy to even begin to understand. However, they can provide useful clues.
KERNELBASE.dll is likely to be the module with which the application works. You need to focus on the application. KERNELBASE is probably preceded by P3 or P4 in the report?
General remarks on the event viewer:

I received a call from Aishaz Tech informing me, I got the "csrss.exe"virus and that they could solve the problem for me for £100, which is the cost of the "Microsoft Tools" necessary to solve the problem. They said that I not able to repair myself, nor anyone else would have had none of these tools and they are a Microsoft partner. I run MS Windows 7 Home Preimium. I didn't even notice that I had a problem. There is only one version of crss.exe in the running task manager (although I can't open the file location) and I have had no other problems such as unexpected POPs Windows that other people with this virus are complaining about.
How can I know that this is not just a scam to get 100 pounds of me?
How can I know that I even the virus?
How do they know I have the virus and where they got my phone number from?
Is it also true that not even reformat the HARD drive and reinstall all the software from scratch can solve the problem?They asked me to use "Teamviewer" free software to enable them to take on my screen, showing me the 'evidence' that I got the virus csrss.exe by:
(1) running msconfig and showing me that much Microsoft services in the Service tab have the status 'arrested '. They said all Microsoft services in the Service tab are essential and must always be running - is this true?
(2) they ran regedit and viewd under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SAFETY record, for which the data column says (value not set) and told me that it meant my anti-virus did not work (I use AVG Free, who says he runs and certainly seems to be analyzes all incoming e-mails). Nobody knows what the data column should be in it?
(3) they then looked at what is called prefetch, showed me loads of entries with numbers and no names of recognizable program or file which said, contained the virus.
4 BACK), they ran a tree, sending loads of country names and other information too fast to read the screen, followed a sentence saying your antivirus software is out of date or does not work and an urgent need to be updated. But I keep my AVG anti-virus updated software automatically.
I don't know what to do and I am really worried about what they could do with my computer while they were back online. Someone at - it good suggestions please?I don't know if Microsoft would take interest because they have themselves identified (many claim come / working on behalf of Microsoft/Windows).
Your main course would be your local trading standards office find a letter enough to follow through is going to be extremely lucky.
The Police has a role through the Central cybercrime Police Unit (info here, puts it's national) Although the report must be done locally and the same COMPUTER literacy issue may arise as to Trading Standards. Perhaps mention the group could wake up a local Plod that they should actually do something, but that you have not paid what was then a crime took place?
PS as you have no evidence as such a problem of recovery is far away still.
Maybe you are looking for
