Re: Lsass.exe - System error

Probably but let's think this one through

Were you also stopped from getting to the command prompt?

When did the problem first start?

What make and model is your computer? What is on your cd/dvd?

If you have to start again with clean installation of Windows XP do you have valued data etc not backed up to CD etc? In other words what do you stand to lose? Do you have a Windows XP SP2 CD? What country do you live in?

How large is your hard disk and how much RAM?

Unfortunatelly I can't log in safe mode as just before log in screen comes up
error message pops up and restarts computer. Same also happens if I try using
"Last Known Good Configuration". I've tried all of the options listed on F8
and none of them work (same happens for each). There is just no way to log in
as it restarts just before windows log in screen shows up.

Can I use cd/dvd instead of floppy as on my new computer there's no floppy
drive, is there a way to remove the virus without logging in?

Please help.

Thanks.

Download Stinger from here and run it to make sure that

Make sure you run the anti-virus scan in safe mode.

Boot into Safe Mode:

Try logging on as Administrator. If a password is requested try hitting
ENTER as there is a possibility no password was set or enter the
password was set and you know it. Then you can change the Other Users
password. Another option to try would be hitting the Esc key.

If no go try booting and selecting the Last Known Good Configuration
option.
