Hi Ray
Different applications. Your article was for c s r s s mine is for

I'll start by stating my lack of exspertise here Roger, but the first thing
that came up when I just did a search was a Microsoft article which says, in
part:
csrss.exe is the main executable for the Microsoft Client/Server Runtime
Server
I found this at:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/csrss/
I'm not saying that what you have got isn't a trogen, simply that it might
not be. I'm sure others will come uup with THE answer.
By the way, I've tried Trogen Hunter and it used to play up something awful
with my internet access so I uninstalled it.
HTH.

Subject: [access-uk] Removing a Trojan
Hi All
A few days ago my firewall told me an application named csrrs.exe was
asking to access the internet. I have not heard of this before so did a search
on Google to find it's a well known trojan worm. I permanently denied access
and set about removing it. I can't seem to find a removal tool on the web. I
then did searches only to come up with blanks. AVG Pro, Panda, Spybot, AdAware,
CClean, Registry Mechanic and Housecall all fail to find it. A search on my XP
Home also proves negative. But I had call to go to msconfig to check what was
running at start-up and there it is large as life and twice as natural. The
location was given as:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I guess this to be a registry location so went to regedit and did a Find.
It seems to be everywhere in there. I could remove it manually but the registry
makes me very nervous and weak at the knees so I'm looking for any knowledge
you guys may have as to if I'm doing the right thing here, please.
Many thanks
Roger
