What is LSA

[AuthorPa]

I could be wrong, but I didn't find anything when searching the S&D site, but I might have overlooked it. I have been running a scan on a PC for quite some time now, everytime I run the scan it will pull up LSA then remove it, then I restart and run again, LSA is right back. Earlier I ran a scan on boot that detected 1 LSA entry in the registry, i removed it then let the system enter windows, upon entering windows I immediately scanned again, now it finds 3 LSA registry entries. I am unsure what this is, it might be a windows component that I'm not familiar with, but I don't know. Please, any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi.
I didn`t found anything about LSA.
But I recommend that you:

Go to Malware Removal (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22)
Read thread named: "BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps. (Start your OWN topic please) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)
If you read it, then create a new thread in Malware Removal forum.

AuthorPa I take it the scan you are running is Spybot-S&D.

Could you show us the path of the detection.

SpyBot results report.
Run SpyBot and check for problems, fix all red items.

When finished right click and choose copy results (not the full report) to clipboard and post that back here please.

Hello,

probably you run an old version of Spybot - Search & Destroy?
The LSA hijacker could not be fixed properly in version 1.3.
Please upgrade to version 1.4.
Please uninstall the older version of Spybot - Search & Destroy before installing the new version.
In order to uninstall Spybot-S&D, please consider the following link:

It is important to use the "very small fix".
Then download the new version of Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4.
You will find links to several download locations on our website.

Please search for new updates after installing Spybot-S&D 1.4.
