lsass.exe

I recently got a popup message on my PC about a program called lsass.exe crashing. I didn’t recognize the program, so I had to look it up. lsass.exe is the or Local Security Authority Subsystem Service. It regulates security permissions under Microsoft Windows.

I found out that lsass.exe crashing is usually a symptom of an infection by the Sasser worm. I was quick to download a free anti-virus program, ClamAV. My PC wasn’t infected — but it was good to know that for certain.
