csrss.exe and winlogon.exe

I have these 2 processes running; is these processes supposed to be there? I
cannot terminate them. They have no decription in the job list.

Hi,

Yep, both are normal. Csrss.exe is a subroutine that handles commands, and
winlogon.exe is the process used to (guess what?) log on to your use
account. You can find these and many more that you are unsure of here:

They are normal services for Windows. One trick that Malware authors
employ is to create or mimic Windows processes and services using a
name similar to a expected, normal Windows module. Verifying them is
a case of checking file location, version and the like. There are several
sites on the web dedicating to explaining and documenting processes &
services used by Windows.

yes, those services must be there. WinLogon.exe deals with user
authentication, and is required throughout the system.

csrss.exe is the Microsoft Client/Server Runtime Server Subsystem, and
processes most graphical commands that you use in Windows.

Ok, thank you for all your responses; I was afraid of them being some kind
of malware.
But it should be ok.
