CSRSS.exe

On start up I get messages telling me that my pc cannot find the file CSRSS.exe

I say ok, then get a message saying cannot load or run CSRSS.exe specified
in the WIN.INI file.

This happened after McAfee security system said it found a suspicious script
in C:|WINDOWS\SYSTEM\xotywxgis\csrss.exe and deleted it. How can I get this
file back? Thanks

you dont want it back it is a virus

go back to your AVs web page and get the full instructions on the last steps
necessary to remove the remnants of the little bugger, there are often other
steps, such as the commenting out of calls in win.ini or removal of a line
in autoexec.bat

Get the file back ? Do you like viruses ?

That's what most likely you had. You don't want it back !

You may still have a remant. Use the following tool to correct the error and make sure the
PC is clean.

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

Boot to Safe Mode? (Hold F5 as you boot to get there, or hold CTRL for
the Startup Menu.) Then... "START button, Run, SysEdit". Bring Win.ini
to the front & search for "csrss.exe". Put a semi-colon ( in front of
the line(s) that contain it.

If you cannot boot to Safe Mode, then do it in DOS (Command Prompt Only,
of the Startup Menu)...

ATTRIB C:\Windows\Win.ini -H -S -R
EDIT C:\Windows\Win.ini

Alt-F-X-ENTER (pressed separately) will exit EDIT,
after offering to save changes if any.
(TAB may prove helpful to navigate buttons.)

If you can now boot to Windows Normal Mode, do as AlmostBob or Lipman
said.

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

Edit your win.ini file and remove, or comment out, the reference to
csrss.exe.

You can do this with a text editor such as Notepad, or you could use
sysedit.exe, in which case you would look for a line beginning with
"load=" or "run=" and delete it, or prefix it with a semicolon to
disable it.

You could also use msconfig.exe to stop the offending program from
being called at bootup.
