lsass.exe

[Ron]

Hey there! I'm worried about the sasser worm. In the
Windows Task Manager under the processes tab one of the
processes is lsass.exe. However, a scan from microsoft
claims I am not infected. What gives? Any advice on how
I can find out what this (and other) processes are?

Mucho gracias

Ron

It's supposed to be there - don't worry, especially if you are all up to
date and not infected.

lsass.exe is the vulnerability that is exploited. Read

prior posts on how to protect this vulnerability. Do not
end process on lsass.exe.

Let me correct what I said earlier... Norton AntiVirus was able to "clean" the "infected" file, was infected by a trojan/worm.
