Wally’s Answer: The CSC.exe process can cause problems due to registry problems in the operating system. It can also be caused by infectious malware. The CSC.exe process can belong to HowbaniSoft or Microsoft Visual Studio. These are reliable sources, but malware can sometimes disguise itself as normal processes, and cause problems in the computer.
What is CSC.exe?
The CSC.exe process on your computer may belong to the HowbaniSoft Internet Cafe System Client, the Visual C# Command Line Compiler, Microsoft Visual Studio, or the Comodo System Cleaner software.
Deceptive Malware
Malware programs can be deceptively named anything. So the CSC.exe process might be a threat. Check where the file is located on your computer. If a non-Microsoft .exe file is stored in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then it might be a spyware, virus, trojan, worm, or some other infection. Some Anti-spyware software includes Spybot – Search & Destroy, and WinThruster.
Checking CSC.exe
This can be easily confirmed by opening the Task Manager and checking where the CSC.exe process is running from. To do this you will need to launch the Task Manager.
To bring-up the Task manager in Windows 7, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard, and press the button labeled ”Start Task Manager“. Be sure to check the spelling of its name “CSC.exe.” In the Processes tab right-click CSC.exe and then click Properties.
You should see its path after Location: If it is in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 then it might be a malicious program. Right-click CSC.exe and then click Open File Location to see the file itself.
The file CSC.exe is should be located in a subfolder of C:\Program Files. The file itself should be about 48 KiloBytes in size. It may also be 75.18 KiloBytes, or 78.49 KiloBytes, or some other size.
