What is csrss.exe?

What is csrss.exe. A search on the internet has brought up the
following web page saying in one paragraph that it is 'registered as a
Trojan.'
Then in another paragraph it says 'The Microsoft Client Server Runtime
Server subsystem'

http://www.liutilities.com/products/...library/csrss/

I don't understand.

Sorry if I replied twice but I can't 'see' my reply.
You're telling me to replace csrss.exe with the same file
from my Vista Home Basic disk?
A virus scan reported no viruses in csrss.exe

In what scenario are you getting this error to show. In Vista there is no csrss.exe.
This you will find it in XP and W2K3 only . Apart from that depending in the
scenario it is a Ahlem. A worm otherwise known as csrss.exe

I see this in Task Manager|Processes. When I right clicked
on it and select 'End Process' my system rebooted and displayed
the bad shut down screen. Now I don't have any options when
I right click other than 'Perform Administrative Tasks'
I'm using Vista Home Basic sp1.

Because "csrss.exe" is a name. Nothing more.
More than one program/file can use that name
Good programs can use that name, such as, for example, a Microsoft Windows
component.
Bad programs can use that name too, such as, for example, a trojan horse
program.

A name means very little. Whether it's in the correct location and properly
"signed" by a legitimate vendor is much more important than what name the
file happens to have.

Thanks,
