|sass.exe error on boot-Windows XP

#1 Post by ccookie66 » Wed Dec 22, 2010 10:27 am

Hello, my antivirus found this trojan virus, |sass.exe or something like that, so I deleted it, but now Windows XP gets this error. (screenshot) http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/6084/erroriy.png

How can I fix this error?

Search the startup folder and the startup keys in the registry for anything that tries to launch this particular lsass.exe. The entry is probably still there, and since the antivirus deleted the file (which is clearly a trojan), you get this error message. Remove the entry trying to run this file and you should be fine.

Thanks! Well, I did it another way, I did another scan and it found the registry keys from the virus, and deleted them, and now the error is gone. Thanks!
