Hi again everyone. So my newest problem: I’m going to say this has happened for maybe a week now, but I didn’t think it was anything major until I did some research on it today. After my system starts up, there’s this error message which reads, “Windows cannot find ‘C:\WINDOWS\Confic\csrss.exe’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.”
So I guess it might be a botnet of some sort according to various places that came up when I googled it. If I click ok, everything runs the same and I don’t have any problems. It’s just that error message at start up. If anyone can help me fix it, that’d be great.
Here’s an HJT log in case it helps:
