Is it a virus?

Postby mm-bb » Thu Nov 17, 2005 9:18 pm

Hi all

A few days ago, I discovered that my os asks for connection once the pc starts up. I search in the startup programs, and I found a new registered program named csrsc. I deleted this program from the list, but it came back each time I restarted the computer. Finally, I searched for the exe file of it, and I found it in the win directory. So, I deleted it permanently, but the surprise was that widows itself asked for the file each time it starts up. A windows' notification is delivered per starting: Windows cannot find "csrsc.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search. For me, my temporary solution was to create an exe file with the same name, and replace it in the win directory. However, I am not satisfied with tat. So can any friend help me? :rolleyes:

csrsc.exe is a process which is registered as the W32.Spybot.CF Virus. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data. It is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.

What anti-virus software are you running? I would reccomending updating and doing a full system scan with AVG and Adaware SE Personal Edition. Both are free and the links can be found on the top left of this page.

After you run both of those, download HijackThis, which is also found at the top left of this page. Do a scan and save your log file, and post it here for someone to check.
