First off my OS is XP Home,

I have kept my running processes to 24....27 when connected to net via modem. I have every update available set to manual, and after I went in looking for critical window updates the MS update page forced a download for their new page changes. Within this downlaod it added 2 new processes to my system: 1. wuauclt.exe 2. csrss.exe.......after a little google search this is what I found,

The first one wuauclt.exe is for autoupdate for Win ME, this confused me because like I said I run XP.....Can I kill this one without negative results???

The second csrss.exe, same thing....Can I kill this one also without negative results???

It just dawned on me about half way into this post that I should have went to Black Viper and researched further, but I will continue with post for the easy way out......please forgive my lazy self.
