Hello,
Csrss - cannot end this process in task manager so I searched it and I cannot delete it it says
“Cannot delete csrss: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is currently not in use.”
What do I do, I know it’s a Trojan of some sort.
The folder is in C:\WINDOWS\System32
