    Help lsass.exe Have you managed to removed this from a machine

    Hi having some issues with our kids machine, when you log onto the interenet bang on two mins thew machine starts to shut shut down staing lsass.exe as the error.

    I have searched the web but keep finding lots of people who have not solved the problem, we are at our wits end - we formated the the HD and rebuilt the machine, as soon as we hit the web the same issue occured!

    any pointers would be well recevied :-)

    Process File: lsass or lsass.exe
    Process Name: Local Security Authority Service

    Description:
    lsass.exe is a system process of the Microsoft Windows security mechanisms. It specifically deals with local security and login policies. Note: lsass.exe also relates to the W32/Windang.worm which spread via floppy disk drives. Please review file path for clarification of this.

        i had this fucking problem, formatted C: and reinstalled everything.... it STILL was fucked up...

        I never got to the root of the problem other than to think it was some kind of a nast virus =-/

        take it to a local computer shop i'd suggest.

            do your windows updates if you can, I can't remember what virus that is but I think it was one of them not too long ago.

                DOS won't eradicate the file because it's a Windows virus/worm. But Linux will since you mentioned you don't have a problem with formatting the drive.

                Burn a simple copy of Linux with one of your other computers and use the Linux CD to FDisk and format with the Linux ext2fs.

                Then you should be able to install Windows with no problems.

                  Maybe it has to do with the isp or your router/switch ?

                        Its a trojan... why is everyone jumping to the FORMAT solution?

                        This takes all of 2 minutes to fix...

                        www.google.com


                        type in the file name, then 'shutdown' or some shit like that, look for the patch that fixes it.

                            It's prolly the sasser worm do a net stat and look for traffic coming in off port 445, 5554 and 9996...if you can get the latest windows update it should fix the problem long enuff for you to remove the virus

                              (With system Restore turned OFF) I reboot the machine. and it will stop the shut down from happening so you can clean the pc

                                  First are you using a bootleg copy of windows? Virus Might be included with your windows installation

                                  Before you go about formating and installing you should patch your windows...

                                    This is the solution to the issue according to other sources, I was passed this by another board member -

                                    Isasse - solution

                                    Im due to try this tonight, Its a pucker copy of windows home addition - whats really anoying the machine was clean we connected to the web an within 1 second this error came up -

                                    Im going to contact the ISP also - thanks for the input, if the above solution solves the problem I will let you know.

                                        yeh sounds like sasser

                                        my two solutions..

                                        Get a huge electro magnet and destroy every spec of data on your HD before a reformat

                                        OR

                                        Buy a new HD..

                                          from whatI have read the lsass.exe l - being a 'L'
                                          is windows security file that is required and if you delete it the OS wont work.

                                          We tried to do the updates but it wont stay connected long enough though hopefull the above comment on how to stopthe shut down should give me the time to fix the issue - only time will tell.

                                            is windows security file that is required and if you delete it the OS wont work.

                                            We tried to do the updates but it wont stay connected long enough though hopefull the above comment on how to stopthe shut down should give me the time to fix the issue - only time will tell.
                                            1. get a connection to the net , without opening a browser
                                            2. use the shortcut to windows update above the run button
                                            "where ever you go..there you are."

                                                    No need to format with this trojan.

                                                    When it starts to count down,
                                                    click start/run/type system -an and hit enter.
                                                    This will stop the count down then goto microsoft.com
                                                    search for sasser removal tool.
                                                    Download it, restart pc in safe mode "F8" during startup
                                                    then run the tool in safe mode
                                                    resatart pc again
                                                    Get a FREE antivirus proggy such as AVG (www.grisoft.com) update it and run it restart and do it again.

                                                      you dont make the shortcut
                                                      the shortcut is already there after the install
                                                      go to run - then at top the the first menu , right above the run button is windows update
                                                      "where ever you go..there you are."
