LSA Shell

D

Dwane Rose

I am receiving the following error each time I logon to my
Windows XP account on my home PC:

"LSA Shell (Export Version) encountered a problem and
needs to close"

Any idea what the LSA Shell is and what is going on?

Thanks...

Apparently, your PC has suffered a security breech because:

1. Critiical Updates have not been installed......
2. The PC's firewall has not been properly enabled.....
3. Out-of-date or no antivirus program has been installed......

Special note if you use AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

I'm in the same boat! After upgrading from Win2k to
WinXPPro and shortly after connecting to the Internet, I
get this message that "The system process terminated
unexpectedly with status code 1073741819. The system will
shutdown and restart. Then, upon reboot there is a message
that says LSA Shell (Export Version) encountered a problem
and needs to close.
I didn't see anything abnormal in the event viewer.

Anybody else encountering this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

With newer Sasser Worm varients appearing I also
recommend you use a Trojan Scanning
tool to make sure nothing elase has been placed on your
PC.

Why?

The Sasser Worm did not have this as part of its code,
HOWEVER the newer varients could
be written to do more than the original worm!

A FREE online Trojan scanner is here:
