utln Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 The worm exploited a known flaw in lsass.Yes, you need to keep it. It's a required component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiMoNsAyS Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 also there it's a worm that uses the name of Isass.exe (note that the first letter it's "i" and not "L"). Lsass.exe it's a critical process of windows and can not be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
