3x Csrss.exe Should i be worried?

[James237]

Usually i have 2x Csrss.exe running but the past week there have been 3 of them running, however this in only in the "Details" section of Task Manager and in the process section of task manager there are only two instances of Csrss.exe running. Should this be something to worry about or is it simply a glitch?. Also when i show properties they were all created on the same date around 2 years before this happened and they all lead to the same place in the files which is it's correct location. I will appreciate all replies and views, thank you

"If you have more than one running in task manager for any/each user, there's a good chance you may be infected. If so, post back and we'll discuss how to deal with that. Otherwise it's not only normal but required."

you should scan with malwarebytes just in case.
my system has 1 process as the back end service
but when I start a cmd.exe process I also get a csrss.exe running as a console.
it talks to the service. (normal)

i would think malware could use the same name running out of another directory.
