Odd Error

Isass.exe is a file that a virus (OPTIX PRO TROJAN) adds to your computer. Run a search for it and delete it.

It's urgent that you do so because it allows hackers to control your computer remotely.

After doing so update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

I did the search in the start:Search way and it diddnt find anything so i turned on my Norton Anti virus and its scanning should it show up in norton or some where else?

Do you mean LSASS.exe? If that is the case, try rebooting with the F8 key down and select Last Known Good Configuration.

LSASS seems to have a vulnerability. See the following.

The next is about a worm named WORM_SASSER.A related with the vulnerability.

Lsass.exe is a windows file.
isass.exe comes with some variants of a trojan.

As to whether or not norton will catch it, you need to make sure to update the virus definitions if it is to have a shot. These are very new ones.

ya i updated my virus definitions im just going to reformat my comp

windows 2000 really isnt doing anything for me im going back to 98

thanks for the help anyway
