Question on LsassFollow

#1 May 03 2004 at 9:47 PM Rating: Decent
Question about this Lsass virus.

I went to symantec and followed the instructions there.

I downloaded the windows updates.

My firewall is running now. (My boys turned it off in order to create warcraft games)

I don't seem to have the symptoms anymore....knock on wood...
BUT, when I run a file/folder search for lsass, it shows up in my C/windows/system32 . I tried deleting it, tried deleting it in safe mode. Neither works.

Do I need to get rid of this file if everything seems fine?

Annoying little thing is Lsass.

You don't want to delete it, you need it!

You should be fine. It's a system file, and not from the virus, it's allways been there. I could walk you through how to delete it, but trust me, you don't want me to.

It's part of Windows.

If you delete it, it will be replaced by Windows File Protection.

I had this problem. You have agobot. There's a file somewhere on your hard drive that's going to be called "explored.exe" and it will be accompanied by "testfile". You need to delete both of these; sometimes the files may be hidden so be sure to have the folder options allowing hidden files to be shown. That should fix the problem.
