lsass.exe critical error

[Guest]

I get an error message while I'm online. The message says
that the lsass.exe has encountered a critical error and
must shut down. I'm not sure if it's spyware virus or OS.

Has anybody seen the lsass.exe error?

thanks

Yes, thousands and thousands of people have seen it.

You have the Sasser worm.

First go to Start | Run and type shutdown -a

That will stop it from shutting down.

Greetings --

You've apparently 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, 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.
