I think I have the csrss.exe virus and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I run Symantic AntiVirus and Lavasoft's Ad-Aware program and still can't get rid of it. I'm not sure I have a hacker problem, but I do have pop ups every 10-15min that tell me to do things. I go into task manager and it says that csrss.exe is running the program when I click on the name of the pop up in the "Applications" part and scrole to "Go to Process." I know that csrss.exe is a nessisary software for the video card and what not, but I think this is just a dummy version. I can manually delete it because it says it's nessisary for basic applications, I can't even do it in safe mode. I'm not even sure I'm finding the right one when I'm trying to delete it. Anyone know what to do? Thanks.

I can't update my Windows, I don't have the key. My buddy is working on that for me, but progress is slow. He bought Windows, and put it on his and mine. Now it won't let me use the key. EDIT: That seems to have fixed it. I've been living with that for 2 months now and I'm happy it's gone.
