Sunbelt Personal Firewall & csrss.exe

Lyle44 · 14 Mar 2008 at 00:49

Hi,

Have been using Sunbelt firewall for a while now, just tried to install Net Framework 1.1 as program wanted it (despite having 2.0 installed) but XP refused so didn't bother installing program.

Since recent however have this Outgoing Connection prompt which I've never seen nor recognise. Never heard of omah.quest.net either.
Anyone able to advise whether it's safe or not? to accept permanently or deny?

csrss.exe should be in /system32/ not /config/ i think.

virus maybe?

Thanks for the post,
well haven't had any issues with it since and avast hasn't picked up anything so for the time being will assume there is no problem. computer is going to be wiped soon and have new hard drive so not overly worried.

Having crss.exe in config is definitley malware and it would be foolish to assume that there's no problem.
