wtf is this?
 

looked in my msconfig and i have LSASS.EXE and CSRSS.EXE and SMSS.EXE loaded in my system manager and it wont allow me to close them.. i have scanned with avg and nothing came up but this is very weird.. any ideas?

Format c:

grr i want to avoid that :)

anyone?

LSASS is Local Security Authority Service. (Handles Windows security mechanisms. It is a system process.)

CSRSS is Client Server Runtime Server Subsystem. (Handles Windows and graphics functions for all subsystems. It is a system process.)

SMSS is Session Manager Subsystem. (Initializes system environment variables, MS DOS device names such as LPT1 and COM1, loads kernel for Win32 subsystem ans starts the Windows log on process. It is a system process.)

So you should not shut those down. They're fine :)

meowwww

Umm buy a mac?

dont listen to this guy jenn. crapintosh is for people who couldnt handle the raw power of a pc... same as those freaks that buy the mini-coopers. some people just like to be 'under par'

Yes they are system files

There is an old worm that makes copies of them though

but if you already did a virus scan you should just have the original system files and no need to delete anything :)

meowww ........................ meowwwww

There are always a few angry pc guys in the bunch. :Graucho

and some dumb mac guys as well:winkwink:

I've used both and like both. I thought Mac was far superior with handling graphics and large files. PC has it's good points too. Had 2 of each in my old office (previous job)... They have a lot of similarities as far as navigating around.... only took me about 10 minutes to get used to the Mac and I had been a PC baby my entire life.

either or it caused shit on my system.. ran macafee last night and bang fucked my system up.. got back in now and everything seems fine but i hate winblows sometimes :)

I think Norton is way less likely to jack up your system than Macafee

i was using avg at first.. and love it.. but then i installed macafee to c if avg was missing the virus or something.. then retarded.. just installed norton :)

hahahahha

I hate computers

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

See what I did get:
