Do a search on your computer for csrss.exe

There should be a file of that name in the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32. There may also be one in c:WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 if you've installed Service Pack 2 from Microsoft.

If this a file of this name is in any other directory, it is almost certainly a Trojan. It runs as a mass mailer, sending out spam from your computer. You can't delete it, since the real csrss.exe is critiical to the opreration of Windows, so any file by that name cannot be deleted.

You should run a good anti-virus/anti-spyware progam.

when i uninstalled it, it wouldnt go away, i noticed that tvants also installs in other random programs, you should delete those too, maybe i just missed one when i uninstalled tvants? well, its worth a try
