Got terrific help for the flap jump problem I was having on my desktop computer now I hope I will get the same with this lsass problem I am having on my laptop.

When I open the task mgr the CPU usage is pegged to 100% just about all the time. When I open the "processes" tab the "lsass.exe" process is always above 78 to as high as 98.

Below is the log file from hijackthis that I scanned a short while ago today:

This has been driving me crazy for a while now and I have been unable to figure out what to do about it. I hope I can find the answer here.

Thanks in advance!

What is with all the creative formatting? when posting you should turn wordwrap OFF. Anyway.. this to go on with:
===Get CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ - and put it in a new folder. You should aim to keep this one for general use. I set it from the install checkboxes to only open from the recycle bin. It's neater that way.
Now run Ccleaner from the recycle bin rclick menu using its default settings [if you set up CCleaner as i suggested, rclicking the bin icon should give you the Open CCleaner option...]. Select the Cleaner icon and the Windows tab; press Run Cleaner. Next select the Applications tab and Run Cleaner again.
[For future quick temp file cleaning select the options you wish to use. Note that CCleaner is also a free registry cleaner. Explore all its options, but skip the prefetch folder cleaning option.

===GET AVG antispyware 7.5 here.. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5 -the link is almost at the bottom of the page , avgas 7.5.0.50. Install it and UPDATE it.
Start AVG a-s 7.5;
-under Scanner/ Settings please set Recommended actions to Quarantine, and run the scan.
-click Apply all actions and then save the log file. Post the log file.
