Hey guys can I ask what are winlogon.exe and csrss.exe? They are using a lot of memory in my pc. I cant close these 2 processes, does that mean they are malware? My pc is getting slow not like before.I tried an antivirus
scan but it says that my system is clean.

Hello

Csrss stands for Client/Server Run-Time Subsystem, and is an essential subsystem that must be running at all times.

Winlogon.exe is a process belonging to the Windows login manager. It handles the login and logout procedures on your system. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

What AntiVirus software did you use to scan your PC? I would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

I would also recommend Anti Malwarebytes to scan for Spyware/Malware: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes

How much RAM have you? You can check by right-clicking My Computer and clicking Properties.

Regards,
George

I already tried scanning with malware bytes. It says that theres no problem at all.
I have 1GB ram.The csrss.exe uses 6128k of my memory and winlogon.exe uses
880k.

Hi, as advised these two processes are essential and should not be terminated (you cannot anyway). 1gb is lean see if you can increase this to 2gb. The best thing you can do for your computers performance.

Yes I agree with Jenae, you should consider adding more RAM to the machine.
