If you don't have it already, download and install CCleaner:

CCleaner - Download

Making a donation before downloading is optional, it is technically free.

Once installed, run the program.

Click on TOOLS > Startup

Now go through the list shown in the middle of the screen and spot the entry that is causing the problem. Select it, then click Disable.

While you're in there, disable anything else you don't need running ALL the time, like RealPlayer updater, Quicktime, Adobe Reader updater....there will probably be a lot of programs you use occasionally you didn't know loaded part of themselves when you startup. Disable them.

Here`s a helpful tip on the csrcs.exe Virus. After your antivirus has detected this virus and eliminated it you are left with an error every time you start your computer. I tried many way too fix this repairing the registry whit different kinds of registry cleaners and even that didn’t work so I got this idea the computer is looking for this “csrcs.exe” every time it starts up so I’m going to give it a blank program it would think that the nasty virus is there but is isn’t there at all and so starting up without that error.
Instructions:
1. Download this program from Dud
2. Extract it like to the desktop
3. Rename it to csrcs.exe
4. Then copy it to C:\WINDOWS\System32

Good Luck
please feel free to send more questions

Follow these steps:
1) Backup the registry (Take care on editing registry coz u r solely responsible for any disasters)
2) Check out the following path for the entries of csrcs.exe and delete the entries containing csrcs.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Runonce

3) Check out this entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

Here you will find a Key with the name "Shell" Check whether the value of this key is something like "explorer.exe csrcs.exe" If it is so then u need to modify the value by removing "csrcs.exe" alone. Note donot delete the "explorer.exe" or delete the entire key

4) Restart your system
Hope this will solve ur issue.
