Lsass is the microsoft Local Security Authentication Server. IT is used to run firewalls and other security features. ISASS is not LSASS. Since the font used by task mgr makes Lowercase l and uppercase I the same, you can't quite tell them apart. Isass is a type of gateway worm, it first gets on your system, and disables your firewall, then takes a hold of LSASS' computer responsabilities, and shuts down your firewalls and other security features.
   

It slows down dial up connection, hardly
