RE: lsass.exe

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

LSASS is the Local Security Authentication Server. It verifies the validity
of user logons to your PC/Server (in technical jargon : it generates the
process that is responsible for authenticating users for the Winlogon
service).

It does not consume much resources. Mine now is: CPU=00, Mem Usage=1,072K

C:\Windows\System32\LSASS.exe. If the path is anything else then you may
have a virus.

See this link for virus related lsass.exe:

Should it be consuming so many resources?

Thanks
