These are both critical system files. Windows cannot run without them. Do have some reason to suspect they are viruses?

I tried to purchase ciberdefender. When they scanned my system they said I need to spend about $400 to have them removed. I google'd these and found out they are indeed required. I just need to determine if they are a trojan.

It would seem you may be infected but not with what you state. Boot into SafeMode and scan with Malewarebytes Freeware version: http://www.malwarebytes.org Also you need a decent Internet security Suite, try: http://www.microsoft.com/security_e...

Usually lsass.exe is in the wrong place. From command prompt at C:\ type in attrib lsass.exe /s Why did it take me over a year to phone in a problem to ATT?

Both files should be in C:\Windows\System32. lsass.exe and csrss.exe Pay attention the first letter in lsass.exe should be l not i.
