Excessive Disk I/O on lsass.exe

[Guest ~~Alan~~]

My daughter's laptop has been running a bit slow based on similar machines I

have. I've noticed constant and excessive (this term is relative) disk I/O

against the lsass.exe process in the task manager.

 

I do not feel my system is infected with any virus since AVG, Avast, Norton,

and Trend all report nothing.

 

Any suggestions?

WinXP Pro SP3

might simply

kill/end the

process.

You can't kill lsass!

Had this problem also my solution was to disable auto run of the cd rom

 

The registry fix:

a. Click Start, and then click Run.

b. Type regedit, and then click OK.

c. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

d. If the value for Autorun is 1, right-click Autorun, and then click

Modify. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.

 

You will have to restart your XP to get the new settings loaded.

 

I know stopping terminal services helped some also
