Have you installed and updated Malwarebytes and ran a Quick Scan? Have you updated your Anti-Virus software and ran a scan with it? Are the scans clean?

Hi -

As an extra to what Firefox posted -

Do not remove that item from your registry - The process listed is not always bad , but it can become infected -

Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), is a process in Microsoft Windows operating systems that is responsible for enforcing the security policy on the system. It verifies users logging on to a Windows computer or server, handles password changes, and creates access tokens. It also writes to the Windows Security Log.

Forcible termination of lsass.exe will result in the Welcome screen losing its accounts, prompting a restart of the machine.

Many people who see the name of the process mistake the "l" for an "I" and type "Isass.exe" in internet searches where they are told that this file is a worm.

Make sure its not LSASS which is a legitimate process

verus I sass which since it looks like a lower case L, may be used to fool a novice user
