LSA Shell export version----

[Richard Oliver]

A friend's machine running WinXP 2000 Home Edition was infected by a
Worm--Lovsan .F and .A.
The worm was isolated but now she has a problem when she tries to log on
to the internet as the machine shuts down after giving the following
message:

Shutdown by NT Authority \System
Windows \system lsass.exe
Status code: 1073741819
Lsass seems to be the problem.

Lsass.exe is located in Windows \system .
Your help in sorting this out please. Richard

Greetings --

Your friend has apparently also contracted the latest worm,
W32.Sasser.Worm, specifically designed to attack people who do not
update their computers promptly and who do not practice "safe hex."
In other words, like Blaster (a.k.a. Lovesan), this worm was developed
and distributed _after_ a patch for the vulnerability was announced
and made publicly available. Further, and also like Blaster, this
worm could not affect any computer whose user had taken the basic
precaution of using a properly configured firewall.

To stay on-line long enough to get the necessary updates, patches,
and removal tools, click Start > Run, and enter "shutdown -a" when the
next Shutdown countdown begins. This will abort the shut down. Also,
make sure you've enabled a firewall before starting, to preclude any
more intrusions while getting the updates/patches/tools.
