    csrss.exe ?


    I noticed that in Win task manager (processors), that csrss.exe didnt have my computer user name accociated with it? So I right clicked it and chose properties with no result, nothing happened? I then tried Open File Location but that didnt do anything either? Any other process works when right clicked, should I delete this as a virus?

    This is completely normal. When running Task Manager with default configuration it will not be able to obtain information from some processes such as csrss.exe. This is a critical system process. By default even an admin account only has the privileges of a limited account and that limits the capabilities of any software you run. Just because Task Manager is a part of Windows does not grant it any special privileges.

    I agree with LMiller7. Leave this alone & do not attempts to remove it.

    I should have mentioned that I Googled this and thats why I asked the question because a virus is supposed to masquerade under the same name, according to some ""expert"" Anyway, I know now! Thanks fellas.
