Have a friend's workstation that was on a broadband
connection with no security applied against it, be it a
personal firewall, antivirus software, Internet browser
settings, Windows Updates for months, etc.

It was running W2K SP2 on Professional,and had numerous
browser jacks on it, Xupiter, N-Save, etc.

I installed Spyware, updated it and ran the
immunization/fix feature on the PC. There were a couple
that could not be fixed until the next system reboot.

The machine was set to Autologon with an admin account,
and when the PC was rebooted,it automatically logged in,
an error pointing to the LSASS.exe service was thrown and
the machine reboots in 60 seconds. This is not the case
in Safe Mode...I booted into Safe mode and uninstalled
SpyWare, with no luck.

Any ideas out there? I'd like to resolve this without
backing up this box and reinstalling everything...

Thanks in advance.

Nate
