I think I have a virus.. or something?
My internet started acting really weird last night. Random pages would not load, but others would load perfectly fine, and I knew that they were all available.
Today, whenever I search from my Google search bar, I get this weird pop up. Doesn't come up on any other pages, and doesn't come up if I go to Google and search from there.
Any ideas?
I know someone else posted recently asking about what programs to use to get rid of spy ware/viruses, but any recommendations? Key word - free.

I think I've tracked it down to csrss.exe, but it wouldn't delete.
Now whenever I search for it on yahoo/google, my search browser gets blocked. Sounds like that antivirus 2009 that someone else had.
WEAK!

Ok I am officially lost.
All but one of these were deleted
Looked after reboot, and csrss.exe is still running. I'm assuming that means its still on my computer. My net problems are still here.
I saw this in the thread about antivirus 2009:
Does that apply to me? Do I really need to be in safe mode to get rid of these?

I saw this in the thread about antivirus 2009:
Easy as cake to remove.
Go to bleepingcomputer.com and download Combofix.exe. Run it, dont worry about recovery console, just run it. I cleaned 5 computers with it so far without a hitch.
Download MalwareBytes, run that after.
Download Spybot Search and Destroy, immunize your computer and run the scan.
DO ALL THIS IN SAFE MODE.
Install Avast Antivirus.
Done.

In Soviet Russia, bear-**** f***s you.
If this is a recent change, you can do a System Restore to a earlier date. You will lose information saved between then and now, however, the bug will be gone too. Then get something like AVGFree or SpyBot Search and Destroy on your PC.

csrss.exe is a valid windows process, but some malware likes to use the same name.

3. Delete/Modify any values added to the registry related with CSRSS7.DLL, Exit registry editor and restart the computer.
4.Clean/delete all CSRSS7.DLLinfected file(s):CSRSS7.DLL and related, or rename CSRSS7.DLL virus files.

I cannot verify that this will work, but it is worth a try.

I haven't played with Linux since Middle school, tried a bunch of different forms of Linux OS but never got it set up 100%, ended up going back to Winblows. Is there still a lot of down falls for running Linux, as in product support/drivers for hardware? What about just browsing the internet, you tube/applications and what not.
