Hi, I'm fixing a computer for a friend at the moment and every time the computer is booted up, the message 'lsass.exe object name not found' appears after the splash screen. I can get no further than the splash screen, as I must always restart after seeing this message. I am informed that, seeing as though the 'l' in lsass is lower case, there is an infection of the Sasser worm on the drive? Could someone please clear that up for me? Thanks.
Also, if I get rid of this virus, will I be able to boot back into windows XP as normal? Or will I have to get legitimate Lsass.exe (capital L) and paste that into the compromised computer's system32 folder through DOS/Usb stick with a ubuntu LiveCD?
Thanks =)
