Run a thorough scan from other vendors for both Malware and Viruses, make
sure the Anti-virus on this machine is up2date and current!, run the
Hijackthis and send the log to one of many forums specialised in analysing
Hijack log.
Run Disk Clean up on this machine then open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK], you may will need your XP CD for this operation to
be accomplished, so get it handy.
Again, you didn't look in the Event Viewer for Error messages that can make

Just upgraded from ME to XP, now every time I start up my system I get the
message that Issas.exe has a problem and needs to shut down. What is this
and how do I fix it??
Also noted while trying to get rid of the lssas.exe that I can not activate
the Windows firewall. Get a message that the ICS can not be started. When
the Firewall status window does open I can not select any options, and it has
a message accross the top that "For your safety some settings are controlled
by group policy" This is a stand alone home system . . no group.
:
LSSAS is a virus. LSASS.EXE (Local Security Authority Subsystem
Service) is in the System32 folder.

John, I mistyped the file name in my original posting, the error message is
for lssas.exe
(that's lower case "L") when I search the hard drive I find a
LSSAS.EXE-0670E652.PF in the Windows\Prefetch folder. I was under the
impression that this is OK. it also shows that it was modified this morning
about the time I received the error message and it closed.

The correct name for the Microsoft Local Security Authority Subsystem
Service is LSASS.EXE. Anything else is almost sure to be a virus or
malware of sorts. Use your virus or malware removal tools to get rid of it.

Went through the device manager as suggested, no "exclamation point" icons,

HiJackThis could find something, but running AdAware, and SFC indicate it is
probably more on the order of a compatible hardware issue. Some driver for ME
is not working in XP. Device Manager might show some 'bang' (exclamation
point icon).
Start/run, type: devmgmt.msc

After fooling around with this for a month, perhaps saving data, and doing a
clean XP install would save you a lot of time.

1) How do I make sure I have the correct lssas.exe???
2) Don't have Symantec on this machine, so can't scan for W32/Kedebe-D.
3) What is Hijackthis and how do I do that?
4) Did run disk clean and tried running sfc /scannow several times. Each
time I needed to "retry" several times to get completely through the process.
5) Have also run adaware and Spybot
6) I am not familiar with Event Viewer, How do I access that?
7) Still get the lssass.exe error when I restart, and the entire system is
bogged down and really slow.

Adding to Mark Advice, since you upgraded from ME to XP?, it could be a
layer of protection belonging to either a Hardware or a software, so check
Hardware Compatibility first.
Make sure you have the correct lssas.exe, lssas.exe is a Local security
authentication server for your system and can be troublesome if compromised
by a Virus/Worm like:
W32/Kedebe-D
LSSAS.EXE then it's probably I-Worm.Sober.
W32.Nimos.Worm
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-031913-3938-99&tabid=2
Run a thorough scan from other vendors for both Malware and Viruses, make
sure the Anti-virus on this machine is up2date and current!, run the
Hijackthis and send the log to one of many forums specialised in analysing
Hijack log.
Run Disk Clean up on this machine then open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK], you may will need your XP CD for this operation to
be accomplished, so get it handy.
Again, you didn't look in the Event Viewer for Error messages that can make
life easy for anyone to help and give you the right fix!.
HTH.

Mark, the WikiAnswers site mentioned to watch out for a file called lssas
(that is with a lower case "L") This is a legit file. Which is what I am
having issues with.
:
It is a backdoor virus that makes your system a zombie. Try Windows Defender
to remove it.
