Excessive Disk I/O on lsass.exe

My daughter's laptop has been running a bit slow based on similar machines I
have. I've noticed constant and excessive (this term is relative) disk I/O
against the lsass.exe process in the task manager.

I do not feel my system is infected with any virus since AVG, Avast, Norton,
and Trend all report nothing.

Any suggestions?
WinXP Pro SP3

might simply
kill/end the
process.

Re: Excessive Disk I/O on lsass.exe


Had this problem also my solution was to disable auto run of the cd rom

The registry fix:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. Type regedit, and then click OK.
c. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
d. If the value for Autorun is 1, right-click Autorun, and then click
Modify. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.

You will have to restart your XP to get the new settings loaded.

I know stopping terminal services helped some also
