Hi Guys!! I guess my pc is sufferring with blaster worm. shortyly after connecting to internet i get the error of lsass.exe and when i click ok the timer starts which says computer will reboot in 60 secs. i have searched this forum thoroughly and came across many such posts. i am posting it yet again because i think my problem is some what different. I have fixed it all, which means i have followed every procedure i could find here to fix the blaster problem. i have scanned my pc with fixblast.exe ,fixwlench.exe and stinger.exe, i have applied fix blast patches plus the patches from microsoft for windows xp, i.e i have installed WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe, Windows-KB833330-ENU.exe,ASN1WindowsXP-KB828028-x86-ENU.exe, WindowsXPpatchKB824146.exe. other than that i have googled and came across some site and downloaded these two files and installed them , Blaster Patch XP.exe and Welchia Patch XP.exe. other than that i have given look for the programs starting up with windows boot, there was no msblast.exe or any suspecting process being started up with reboot. i have searched thoroughly for msblast.exe in my pc but found nothing. i have checked /run in hkeylocalmachine and hkeylocaluser in registry but there is no entry for msblast.exe. infact only entries of programs listed in /run are the ones that comes by default with windows. STILL the problem is there. no matter what i do the damn lsass.exe and that auto shutdown with in 60 secs problem remains there. i guess i have explained my problem in detail..any kind of help is appreciated Thanks!!

Turn off your system restore if it is on and go to: http://www.trendmicro.com run their scanner for your whole system.if anything is there it will find it and try to repair it or give you options on what to do IN THE MATTERS OF STYLE, swim with the current; in matters of principle, STAND LIKE A ROCK
