It is lsass.exe. Winpatrol says that it is essential for networking. I have
Norton always on scanning everything that comes in or goes out. It even scans
my out going mail. I have also gone to PC pit stop and ran all of their tools
and scans. One of the sites states that malware can disquise it self as
lsass.exe. This morning I tried system restore and it blocked that. I was
able to finish start up by hitting Esc button.
