Hi,
Do a search of the C:\ drive for csrss. It may be located the i386
folder if you have it, by the name of csrss.ex_
Heres some research i found, a little bit of googling can save you some posting space but here you go:
What is csrss.exe?
A Microsoft Windows file stored in the c:\windows\system32 or c:\winnt\system32 directory that has the file description: "Client Server Runtime process". This file Is this file a spyware, trojan, or virus?
The csrss.exe file included with Microsoft Windows is not spyware, a trojan, or a virus. However, like any file on your computer it can become corrupted by a virus, worm, or trojan. Anti-virus programs can detect and clean this file if it has become infected. Because this file is part of Microsoft Windows users should never delete or remove this file if they think it is infected, let the anti-virus program handle it. Is it safe to remove csrss.exe from the Task Manager processes?
No. The csrss.exe is a critical system process that cannot be removed from the Task Manager without causing issues with Windows. When attempting to End Process the csrss.exe you will receive the Unable to Terminate Process window with the error "This is a critical system process. Task Manager cannot end this process.". It is normal to receive this error.
