I need urgent help please

I'm not sure how serious this problem is, but it can't be good. A few days ago I got some spyware, which I manages to take care of but to do so I had to go into C:/WINDOWS/Config/csrss.exe and delete the file. As a result, the spyware is gone, but starting up my computer takes much longer than it used to. So, it would be great if anyone knows where I could download a genuine Windows XP Home csrss.exe, or if anyone could make a copy of theirs and upload it.

Well, for one, it wasn't bright deleting anything udner the windows directory.

If you have anything like that in a windows folder and such (csrss is an system service), use Security Task Manager - Windows XP process viewer

I'll get you that file soon though. x]

Edit:

On second thought, run a windows system repair, won't lose data, or you can at least do a system restore to the day before the spyware appeared.

You might want to do a full scan for viruses/spyware. It might still be there.

I've done the full scan, and it's gone completely.

@Ryouko: I tried doing a system restore, but it won't let me restore it to any date before I got the spyware.

And also, I can't find my Windows disk, so I can't do the repair install.

Have you tried looking on Microsoft's site? Not that I'm expecting it to be there, but possibly.

Or just googling csrss.exe download

I wouldn't trust any site out there to provide a core Windows file for me. Chances are you'll just get another virus.
