Hi,

I am using Windows XP and dial up to Internet. The XP is newly
installed, so there is no firewall or antivirus or Windows Update on
it. A few days before, when I surfing the net with it, I get the
message of:

The system process 'C:\WINNT\system32\lIsass.exe' terminated
unepectedly with status code 128. The system will now shut down and
restart.' So, the system restart in 60 seconds.

However, after I restart the computer, there is NO restart cycle. The
computer can be used the same as before without automatic shutdown
issue.

Moreover, I downloaded the Sophos Antivirus with the latest virus
signature IDEs, there is no virus detected in it.

I have also use the http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
to scan it online, but still there is no virus infected.

Can you help me how to solve and tackle the problem? How to check it
is infected, which I think so because of the above message.

Thanks a lot!

Wilson.
