Both user groups state that the csrssc.exe malware is integrated with autorun functionalities that can enable this malicious application to create and inject keys and entries into the unsecured Windows System Registry of the unprotected computer upon its successful placement and activation in the system. These registry strings are said to allow the csrssc.exe malware to automatically initialize during system startup, operate as a hidden or cloacked background process during system runtime and exploit or use unencrypted TCP/IP network ports to download more malicious applications unto the system from predesignated remote servers that are said to be managed by the authors of the csrssc.exe malware. Some users reported that these remote servers can also transmit instructions and directives that can be performed by the csrssc.exe malware in the unprotected Windows-based computer, especially in systems with outdated OS security certificates and an unsecured Windows System Registry.
