Good thinking, Baz.  It has to be a running program of some sort - unless he does actually have a sheep hiding in his PC!  ;D

Can you do a screenshot of all the running processes in Task Manager, and post it?  You can use the attachment facility by clicking the Reply button, instead of using the Quick Reply box on here.  :)

sorry about the pics, but hope they help  :dunno:

Check where csrss.exe is:

Quote
This is the user-mode portion of the Win32 subsystem; Win32.sys is the kernel-mode portion. Csrss stands for Client/Server Run-Time Subsystem, and is an essential subsystem that must be running at all times. Csrss is responsible for console windows, creating and/or deleting threads, and implementing some portions of the 16-bit virtual MS-DOS environment.

Note: The csrss.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, csrss.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm! Check this with Security Task Manager.

Virus with same name: Nimda.E

Hi Keith,

I think we referred to a couple of other spyware sweepers earlier on in the thread, namely, SuperAntiSpyware, and MalwareBytes  Did you try either of them?  Also, it might be worth running HijackThis.  You can post the results here, but I believe you can also send them for immediate analysis.

Well, I have to say, this has beaten me.  Is there anything in C:\WINDOWS\Media that could be it?  Do you have the 'Jungle' sounds, and could it be one of those?  :dunno:
