Explaining Csinject

Situation:
This document describes what Csinject is.

Solution:
Csinject is loaded at startup after installing CleanSweep. It runs in the background, so it is listed in the task list when you look at the Windows Close Programs dialog box.

Csinject is used to load .dll files that are needed by Smart Sweep. This function happens very early in the boot process.

Note: If you do not have Smart Sweep loaded, Csinject will still load and run in the background.

Csinject must be loaded in order for Smart Sweep to automatically monitor installations and properly track registry changes. If Csinject is disabled, the .dll files necessary for these processes are not loaded. If you have disabled Csinject, you must re-enable it prior to monitoring an installation. Smart Sweep will not track registry changes if Csinject is not loaded.

For information on disabling Csinject, see the document How to disable Csinject.
