yay I just ran msconfig and it is not in my start up.
Thanks rich and bruce

My memory and my cpu runs pretty low usually so it must have been the serif software I downloaded hogging resources for a moment.



All I knew was the csrss is exploitable or helpful process a trojan or both so thanks for the imput.

( @ tw I usually find a task or process list online that explains each function but the list I found today had conflicting information. )
