Vista - What is csrss.exe?

05-07-2009

What is csrss.exe. A search on the internet has brought up the
following web page saying in one paragraph that it is 'registered as a
Trojan.'
Then in another paragraph it says 'The Microsoft Client Server Runtime
Server subsystem'

http://www.liutilities.com/products/...library/csrss/

I don't understand.

Not necessarily a virus. Its a windows process which deals with user logins .

In what scenario are you getting this error to show. In Vista there is no csrss.exe.
This you will find it in XP and W2K3 only . Apart from that depending in the
scenario it is a Ahlem. A worm otherwise known as csrss.exe

I see this in Task Manager|Processes. When I right clicked
on it and select 'End Process' my system rebooted and displayed
the bad shut down screen. Now I don't have any options when
I right click other than 'Perform Administrative Tasks'
I'm using Vista Home Basic sp1.

My Vista Ultimate x86 (32 bit) has the file c:\windows\system32\csrss.exe.
It's been a core component of the Windows desktop since at least Windows
2000. I have also seen references to csrss.exe flagged as a trojan program
on some web-sites. A google search just now reports that only AuditMyPC.com
is reporting it as a virus. Given that AuditMyPC.com doesn't seem to know
that this file is part of Windows, I would strongly advice avoiding this
site.
