LSASS.EXE:

It's a system process, leave it alone.
Have you run a spyware scan? The slowdowns and pop-ups you describe
are often indicative of a spyware problem. I did a house call for a
client with severe slowdowns and functionality problems. AdAware
found 251 instances of spyware on her machine. Try these freeware
programs and see what happens.
Lavasoft AdAware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Spybot Search & Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
These two both do essentially the same function. However, they use
different definition files, so sometimes one will catch a problem that
the other misses.
A great program for the PREVENTION of spyware is Spyware Blaster.

This wonderful utility has all but eliminated the spyware instances on
my machine.
Good luck,
Jeff
