LSASS.EXE error

[Will]

I am receiving a error in c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe
with a status code of -1073741819 on a WinXP Pro
workstation. I searched Microsoft but could only find
problems and fixes for win2000 and these were
patches/hotfixes. Of course I am not going to try any of
these on an XP machine.

Since MS is no help could someone enlighten me on this
problem.

I saw a lot of this question on the newsgroup in June
while looking for info on something else, but I can't
remember the catagories they were in.

FYI, while you're waiting for someone to answer you, you
can use the search feature (down by the "post new"
and "post reply" to see responses to other people asking
the same question.

Hi Will,

It sounds like a case of the Sasser worm:
