Feeling slow??
Recently I get infected by csrss.exe and my computer generate Kamicak folder in every USB I insert. X-O
So, armed with my little knowledge, I fight back that csrss.exe culprit once and for all~~
Firstly, What is csrss.exe?
Answer from Wiki:
- csrss.exe stands for Client/Server Runtime Subsystem - a component of Microsoft Windows NT operating system.
- it provides the user mode side of the Win32 subsystem and is included in Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Server 2008 and the latest OS, Windows 7.
- because most of the Win32 subsystem operations have been moved to kernel mode drivers, in Windows NT 4 and later csrss.exe is mainly responsible for Win32 console windows, GUI shutdown, and threading.
- csrss.exe is a critical system operation, terminating it will results the infamous blue screen of death (BSOD)~
- and, under normal circumstances, csrss.exe cannot be terminated with the taskkill command or with the Task Manager, though it is possible in Vista if the Task Manager is run in Administrator mode.
Yes, csrss.exe is a critical windows process, deleting is on your own discretion. ;-P But, because lame virus programmer love to play with every antivirus software out there, they 'masks' the real csrss.exe with another one that spreads spyware/malware in our computer~ X-O
