Ok I have a friend that has the Sasser worm. Whenever he gets online sooner or later the error comes up trying to execute Lsass.exe. Now I ran the Fix for the Sasser.worm that I got from Symantec but it said it did not detect the Sasser Worm on the computer. Is there something that I might be doing wrong.
lsass.exe is a windows file lsasss.exe (extra 's') is the Sasser version If you search the MS knowledge base for lsass.exe there are a number of known issues there.
It sounds like a hardware problem. I have a drive that showed the exact same symptoms. I cracked the case and have confirmed that there are some solder joints that are shot where the USB connector meets the PCB.
