| Dida | I got drmsartload - I tried to remove it but at boot i keeps coming back. I found out that csrss.exe starting it - and that this csrss.exe is in windows directory not in windows/system32 directory |
| Rich | I kept seeing Windows Security Center saying windows firewall was turned off, as well as automatic updates. Also windows firewall was set to group policy, so you could not enable it even though group policy was not configured. Additionally there was always a mysterious connection to stealth.insert.si Booted in safe mode, deleted the csrss.exe from \windows and all is good now. |

| Andrew | My firewall says csrss.exe is trying to use my internet connection, is the windows os doing this or it is a virus? |
| Tristan | The csrss file is the root of all my problems, but it will now allow me to delete it, nor can I terminate the process. I disable it on startup but it adds itself again. It won't allow me to open any other programs/windows to try and remove it. |
| Ituen | Process shows two csrss.exe going on, 784k and 1,016k. Everybody is talking about only one. Something is wrong with my twins? |
| grav3s | ok i finally got rid of the virus file(was located in C:|windowsMedia folder) now the only proble is that there isnt a real csrss in the system32 folder.is this file absolutely necesary ? please someone respond! |
| Will | To get rid of a virus as such your just going to have to restart your operating system. |
| Steve | Just cleaned up a problem with a fraudulent CSRSS.EXE. It was trying to run from C:WINDOWSCONFIGCSRSS.EXE which is NOT the valid location. Fortunately, on my system, that is not a valid location at all. But the proper location of the legit executable is in the SYSTEM32 directory, not directly in the Windows directory (or anywhere else). |
| ethan | I have this problem and i cant see to fix it the only way i can figure out how to get rid of it in a way tat i can understand is to just reinstall vista xp etc.... |
| Daniel | I had this Virus, I fixed it by going to system restore, and when back to an earlier time before i caught the virus, it fixed the problem. |
| Travis | I have the same problem with one of my PCs. I did a search on the computer for the csrss.exe and it came up under C:WINDOWSsystem32 as well as C:WINDOWSservicepackfilesi386. Could the latter be the culprit? |
| calum | how do i know if its the virus csrss.exe or the windows process? |
| SoCalledFree | Free scan will cost you 29.95. This shows that the web site is not trustworthy. |
| jodie | It is linked with smss.exe. Only one of each should run. I ran a search and found it in two other locations. And I too also saw that my firewall was being turned off. how do i boot in safe mode... |
| Kris | this program keeps coming up in my processes without a user name. It is connected with someone hacking into my computer. It is accessing asghost.exe (identity security program) Stop both processess immediately if you see csrss.exe with no description or user name in your process list |
| jordan | i am having all of the problems above any fixes yet? |
