If you do a full extensive Antivirus search, and it comes Clean, it prolly means it's clean.
And only suspect svchost.exe if the description comes wrong, pex.: Bluewind/yupolo/etcetc.
And csrss.exe is USUALLY a SYSTEM file, very important to your OS, so DON'T remove if it's located in the C:\Windows\System32.
If its somewhere else like C:\Windows\ then its prolly a keylogger/trojan/virus/etc trying to imitate a known process name.
As I said, run your AV.
