lsass.exe Command: C:\Windows\lsass.exe Description: Added by the W32/Tilebot-IU worm and IRC backdoor. This infection should not be confused with the legitimate C:\Windows\System32\lsass.exe file. W32/Tilebot-IU spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including RealVNC (CVE-2006-2369) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.

Let me clarify. The LSA Shell (Export Version) is a necessary Microsoft process. I have been looking all over because I keep getting mixed signals everywhere until finally a couple of websites mentioned that the virus is called lsasss.exe Notice the third "s".

dangerous... it attack my MSN messager.

Without it,your system will not run. Malware attacks its vulnerabilities, which is why everyone thinks it's malware. Scanners only display lsass.exe being infected, but it's a thread inside the process that's the malware.

Some malware uses the process to attack you, please get a good AV and run it. DO NOT KILL THE PROCESS.

Safe, but make sure it has two 'S'.

Safe, however unless you patch your PC using auto-updates, then your vulnerable to fake versions.

The process lsass.exe serves as the Local Security Authentication Server by Microsoft, Inc. It is responsible for the enforcement of the security policy within the operating system. This process checks whether a user’s supplied identification is valid or not whenever he or she tries to access the computer system.

even if it is necessay - you can still put the priority on low - s it not needed most of the time.

this is a component of windows xp home edition, sp3

PCgeek
isass.exe with an small caps L is a vital windows process and nt a virus. However viruses go under the name Isass.exe(Note this is an I not L) so they appear as vital windows process and not a virus.

Dale
I made the mistake of deleting it from my registry thinking it was the virus instead of the virus being inside the thread. Now I realize that lsass is a needed component. So far all that I have noticed is that I can't search my C: drive. Anyone know where to download a clean copy of lsass since my laptop didn't come with an installation CD.
