lsass.exe is a genuine windows file. I have three copies on my system
dated 4 August 2004 ( size 13 kb ). One is located in the System32
folder, another in the i386 folder and a third in the dll cache. A fourth
copy is dated 18 August 2001 is to be found in the uninstall folder
( size 12 kb ).

However, a file of the same or a similar name is implicated with some
particularly nasty viruses.

A tool is available to remove the Sasser worm variants

Hope this helps.
