|  lsass and torrents Okay sometimes when I'm seeding and leave my comp for a while and come back. Norton will have displayed a pop up that it is blocking lsass.exe. Now I know this is a windows service but I also heard that there is a virus by the same name. So far I always block the attempt but on Windows support they say that lsass is a pretty critical service. Anyone else experience this or know what I'm talking about and if I should keep blocking it?

 | Re: lsass and torrents Does blocking it interfere with your seeding of the torrent? If it doesn't, I would go along with Norton and keep blocking it. Try to find out what directory it is running from. If it is running from the default windows directory (where it would run from it wasn't a virus) then you can allow it. I do not know the location of that process off the top of my head. |

| Re: lsass and torrents ok thanks. I'll just keep blocking it until I get around to researching it more I guess. It doesn't affect the torrent in any way that I can tell
