Hi all, what does 'isass.exe' do..? It's a system process that's taking full 50% of my new dual Xeon system's CPU..?!?!? I had look around at M$.com but they only point you at 'sasser worm' and this is a clean install of WinXP Professional with SP2 laid on top from the M$ CD..! (It searches clean of infection too anyway.)

Are you sure it's not lsass.exe?
It's running on my XPHome box?

Can you tell us more about your setup?

You're correct mavau, lsass.exe it is - it was taking full 50% of the avaialble CPUs but a reboot fixed it, thanks anyways...
