Guest ~~Alan~~ Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 What is the lsass.exe process in the Task Manager? I see I/O reads and writes against this process and this is after an O/S rebuild. The CPU Utilizzation is very minimal, almost nothing at all if that much. WinXP SP3 thanks, ~alan

Is the ongoing I/O traffic | normal? | ~alan Alan: What is really needed is the fully qualified path to LSASS.EXE If it is; %windir%\system32\lsass.exe then it is the legitimate module of the OS kernel known as the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service. If LSASS.EXE is executed from any other are of the OS such as %windir% or C:\Program Files\Common Files then there is a problem, most likely malware. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
