What about the spyware check? Was that also clean? Spyware is more
invasive than viruses and is becoming more common. Antivirus programs
offer little or no detection ability for most spyware. You need to
run specialized spyware tools for this, and it normally requires more
than one such tool to clean up an infected system.

Your error information refers to MODULE_NAME: csrss

CSRSS.EXE is a genuine Windows component. However it is one that also
used by some spyware related items, such as keystroke logging programs
and certain backdoor trojans. So this reference in the error message
does reinforce the possibility that spyware may be the underlying
culprit.

Again, start with http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm and follow all
of the suggested steps in sequence.

Good luck
