csrss.exe - Dangerous
%windir%\system\csrss.exe
Jeff's Story:
My PC had gotten a bad rootkit that my ISP antivirus software (powered by McAfee) could not detect, nor could fix.
I sought a solution on the Internet and discovered your product and tried out the trial.
You quickly found the rootkit and SAVED my PC!
I haven't had any problems since, and I'm extremely grateful.
Manual removal instructions:
This worm spreads via the Internet as an attachment to infected messages, and via shared network resources.
Characteristics of infected messages:
Message header, body and attachment name (with .pif extension) are chosen at random from predefined list.
The worm uses a direct connection to the SMTP-server to send messages.
The wom copies itself to the Windows directory under the name csrss.exe
and registers this file in the system registry auto-run key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\BagleAV
thus attempting to disguise itself as an antivirus working against Bagle.
Also, the worm attempts to delete registry keys created by I-Worm.Bagle.y
Automatic removal:
Use RegRun Startup Optimizer to delete this worm from your machine.
