The sasser virus is long since gone. However it has been replaced by other Internet worms
that exploit that LSASS module via TCP port 445.

Therefore, a Sasser related removal tool is useles if you were infected with a SDBot or
other internet worm.

You can stiop the ...
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
'c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741819

Go to; Start --> Run
enter; shutdown -a

Microsoft's LSASS vulnerability patch.
WinXP KB835732
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3549EA9E-DA3F-43B9-A4F1-AF243B6168F3&displaylang=en


Please read the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-011.mspx

You need a FireWall.
If you don't patch the PC and not use a FireWall then you will just be re-infected.

I also suggest the installation of ALL MS Critical Updates ASAP.

If it is WinXP -- Install WinXP SP2 ASAP !

If your PC is behind a FireWall, has the patch installed and you have WinXP SP2 installed
and you get this message (and it is possible) then it is NOT becuase of an Internet worm).


Scan with the McAfee module in the below Multi AV Scanning Tool....


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

I've got the same problem since 3 weeks ago (even if my message error is
related to Windows/system32/services.exe, and not to lsass.exe).
I'v got all my O.S., Firewall and antivirus up-to-date;
Pc scanned with Multi-AV, in normal and safe mode, with Sophos and Mac Afee,
as written above, but no sign of infecion.
May be it could be the file "services.exe"? No sign of infection when I scan
this file.
Mr Lipman, you wrote: "If your PC is behind a FireWall, has the patch
installed and you have WinXP SP2 installed (like mine)
> and you get this message (and it is possible) then it is NOT becuase of an
> Internet worm)."
SO WHAT IS IT?????????????????????
I don't really want to format my pc (I'm not sure that can solve the
problem....too).
May be............."I shall go out and buy a Macbook"....!
Thanks for any help....
Vincenzo

PS: sorry I wrang to send the previous message! This is my message!

I have yet to discern what can cause the error if it is deemed NOT to bve Internet worm
activity nor how to cure it. Sorry :-(
