    It is normal to have multiple csrss.exe processes running.

    Stay out of your Software Distribution folder. You can do some major damage by deleting things just because they look suspicious. Windows is constantly creating, deleting and overwriting files that look suspicious.

    Use a good antivirus and trust it to do it's job. Self medicating can be hazardous. ;)
