Windows 10: I found this csrss.exe virus finally

Today i went into the windows folder , then i saw a hidden folder named "rss" i opened it and i saw the file csrss.exe and there was another file beneath it named virus. csrss.exe means Cilent Server Runtime Process. It is essential for the Operating system to run . But in my computer there are 2 csrss.exe file. I have learnt that 2 csrss.exe files means 1 is the real and another one is the virus. The real one is in the system32 folder while the virus file is hidden. But i found and caught it.

CSRSS.EXE - Confusion

Csrss.exe is the Microsoft client server runtime which generates worker threads for client requests. The confusion over csrss.exe comes from Trojans or viruses that use the same executable name (.exe) as that of csrss.

Many spyware/malware programs use filenames of usual, non-malware programs.

The legitimate csrss.exe is part of the Microsoft client server software and is a very important part of the system which should not be removed.

One way to determine if csrss.exe is a legitimate file besides looking at the date modified is to right click on csrss.exe inside Task Manager and attempt to end process. Because csrss is a critical file, Microsoft should inform you with a message that csrss.exe is a critical system process and end it is not possible.

If you do not receive this message when attempting to end the csrss.exe process, then it may indeed be a virus.
