Hello, i was on task manager and winlogin.exe, atieclxx.exe, and csrss.exe had no username or description. I also logged onto my computer and noticed the wallpaper was all black which was not how it was set when I last logged off. Appreciate all help thanks.

Welcome to CH. Volunteers are ready to help you.
If you believe these changes were not made by you, then yhou mayu have some kind of computer virus.
Do you have an Anti-Virus program?
If so, did it give any warnings?

This is normal, don't worry about it.
the wallpaper was all black which was not how it was set when I last logged off.
Did you try changing it back and has it changed to black since? Is this a genuine copy of Windows? Windows will switch to a black background if WGA detects a pirated copy of Windows.

no i dont have anti-virus. but i just played a couple csgo games and the wallpaper is back to what it was. maybe it was because I just booted up my pc idk?

If you go on-line, you have to have some protection. :)

Well I mean that's not my concern, my concern is whether or not these programs are harmful because I have never seen them with no description or username under task manager

Again, that is normal operaton. winlogin.exe and csrss.exe are Windows system processes and atieclxx.exe is your video card drivers. They are part of the system so are running without a user.

Remember to only install one antivirus!
1) Avast! Home Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Avast_Home_Edition_d1968.html)
2) AVG Free Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=886)
3) Avira AntiVir Personal (http://www.majorgeeks.com/AntiVir_Personal_Edition_7_d955.html)
4) MicroSoft Security Essentials (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-all-versions) All versions and all languages.
5) Comodo Antivirus (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Comodo_AntiVirus_d5109.html) (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.
