| Without it,your system will not run. Malware attacks its vulnerabilities, which is why everyone thinks it's malware. Scanners only display lsass.exe being infected, but it's a thread inside the process that's the malware. | |||

| lsass.exe Command: C:\\Windows\\lsass.exe Description: Added by the W32/Tilebot-IU worm and IRC backdoor. This infection should not be confused with the legitimate C:\\Windows\\System32\\lsass.exe file. W32/Tilebot-IU spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including RealVNC (CVE-2006-2369) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.
