Hi everyone , i'm sure this question might have been asked earlier but these 2 processes are making me suspicious that they are viruses or malware , process names are csrss.exe and winlogon.exe reason that i cannot access their properties from the task manager neither can i open thier file location , i check on my system32 folder thier sizes running on taskmanager to those compared on system32 are different also ... also when i try to terminate the process it says access is denied plz help !

If they were viruses your anti virus software would've dealt with them.

csrss.exe can be legit or a trojan. Malwarebytes would knock it on the head if a trojan.

The winlogon.exe process is part of Windows Logon Application of Microsoft.
