NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM shutdown message
and
LSASS.EXE errors
and
LSA SHELL (export version) error

I get the same messages as sasser worm- but its not the same virus. I have downloaded the symantec (fix sasser) and mcaffee (stinger) tools and both have not found the sasser worm on my computer. i have doing the start,run,"shutdown -a" trick to cancel the system shutdown when i recieve the error message, but it's getting really annoying. what could this be and what else can i do?

0. Do you have a firewall? (Is it On)
1. Have you installed the LSASS patch fix?

It has been a long time since I visited here.

As for your problem, there's really no fix for that. If the tools designed for the Sasser virus didn't work, then it's probably a new virus. I recommend you reformat/repartition.

Visit here if you want a second opinion.
