My laptop shuts down after about 5 minutes with the
message - The system process C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
\LSASS.EXE terminated unexpectedly with status code
1073741819. The computer then restarts and after 5
minutes or so, the same problem will recur. How do I
solve this

Greetings --

Haven't seen a newspaper or news broadcast in the past week?

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 RPC 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.
