I ran into a problem this morning when i got on my computer.. WHen turned on and windows starts a dialog box appears stating lsass.exe-system fatal error. Object name not found.. As long as i dont click ok i can work but if i do it restarts. I've got win xp pro. Ive ran stinger from mcaffe, the actuall mcafee virus prog., and a norton program for the virus that some said cuased this. no viruses found. I went and tried to do a recovery and it says my h.d. was not found but yet it still loads and all? my h.d. is run through serial cable and it does work so at this point its the least of the two problems. Anyway to get rid of this? Thanks for the help.

If the lsass.exe is spelt with a capital L this is ok...if spelt all lower case this is a virus.
This has been around sometime and well noted on this forumThis is from the same family as W32.Sasser....... which has many relations

Also is the lsass.exe message coming up in safe mode?
The Sasser buffer overflow shuts down the computer no matter what. In your case it looks that might be something wrong with the actual Local Security Authority …
