You need to run an antivirus scan. Try here..

The lsass.exe error could be a Trojan horse. See here for one possibility...

To fix that you could try "Spybot Search and destroy" free from here...

The RPC shutdown is proably the Blaster worm.

I hope Bruce won't mind if I refer you to his reply to someone else with
Blaster (see below).

Greetings --

If you connected the PC to the Internet without having first
enabled a firewall, without having first installed an antivirus
application with current virus definition files, and before installing
the KB824146 Hotfix, you're very likely to get infected from any of
the thousands of PCs on the Internet that are constantly broadcasting
the Blaster and/or Welchia worms. It only takes a few seconds of
exposure.

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.

Check the registry i
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Do you see an entry for C:\winnt\avserver.exe ?

It's a new virus called W32.Sasser.Worm according to Symantec. It's i
the definition from 4/30/2004. It exploits the hole patched b
MS04-011.

Delete the registry entry and then close RegEdit so it writes it. The
reboot the server and you should be able to then update your AntiViru
and patch your server.

Since I've removed this virus our server has become stable again
