Need I worry about this?

And just what is 'lsass.exe' anyway?

Hey Philovance,

lsass.exe is the main component of the security subsystem for NT/2k/XP. UDP 500 inbound indicates that someone is scanning for or trying to negotiate IPSec authentication. You should not allow the outside world in on that port.

HTH,

lsass.exe:
Windows NT4/2000/XP only.* LSASS is the Local Security Authentication Server.* It verifies the validity of user logons to your PC/Server (in technical jargon*:* it generates the process that is responsible for authenticating users for the Winlogon service).
Recommendation*:*
An integral part of the operating system, leave alone.

HTH,

Pieter

Thanks, I denied access.

I'm such a rookie at this stuff.
