I have just found another thread on another site that states that css.exe is a trojan piece of software called css.exe produces that error message. However there is little information about it - Googlong css.exe brings up a bit more information.

This is the link to that website is

Once you have removed the css.exe program, you need to install an antivirus program!

Cheers for the quick reply peterb, I have Avast installed already and also spybot also downloaded hijack this but when i did a scan with it all the file it shows are one i had from the begining like avast, abobe, punkbuster a & b just the usal program i expected to see. Spybot says congrats i have a clean system. doing an avast scan tonight will see what that bring up.

I have the same problem when using "Start-Up Inspector", which i've used a lot with no problem. No it won't let me delete unwanted software from my system tray (icons) and says "failed to set data for 'avast'". Weird. I have used Avast for years and like it and there's no place to set "data" in either Avast (from what i know) or in Start-up Inspector. Any ideas?
