Problem with Windows 2000 Professional

NeoPhyte101 · 09-27-2005, 10:23 AM

Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on helping me with this problem

When i turned on my labtop today i got this message

lsass.exe has performed errors and the program must be restarted
Then the automatic shutdown kicks in and counts down for a minute and then reboots the pc. when it restarts i keep getting the same error

Do i need to wipe the pc and rebuild or is the a solution as really don't want to have to wipe it

Grateful for any help

Local Security Authority Service seems to be corrupted. Most likely malware is acting in your system. It may also be a fake message generated by malware. No matter what you need a cleanup. I would click on greyknights link below and follow the instructions. Then i would post my hjt log under hjt log help forum under security section. After the cean up you might need to repair your OS.
