LSASS.exe error

[Jim Milton]

Can anyone tell me what the lsass.exe program controls. I
have an account with xp home and they get an occasional
error while running various applications stating that
lsass.exe encountered an error and it shuts down the
program that they are in.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

You have sasser. Is your virus software up to date? have you downloaded all the windows patches?
I also run stinger as a backup virus catcher.
