I used free AVG in my laptop, found three threats. And healed.
Now I am facing the problem that when I start my computer a message " csrcs.exe" can not find the correct file or path. Please go to START button and then SEARCH.
I have tried many ways. But failed to remove this message.
Q1. What is this ?
Q2. How could it come?
Q3. How can I remove this?
Q4. I am doing work by cliking"OK" on that msz, however I am not sure what can cause my computer harm?
Please help me.
By the way I use"RUN" CCleaner but in vein.

Using Internet Explorer, go to:

Free Virus Scan - Free Antivirus Software | Norton Security Scan (http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/WelcomePage.asp)

Click "Continue to Symantec Security Check", in the next window click No when asked if you want to close this window, that will bring you to a window where you should click Virus Detection.

Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: : (http://www.symantec.com/search/) and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.

I would also suggest downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.35 from:
