Just to give my two-cents. I've been researching this today and found information
on a virus named "isass.exe", which is often confused for a legitimate file named
"Lsass.exe". Oddly enough, however, I didn't find any info on McAfee about the FILE
"isass.exe", but I found a page at http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/isass/
This indicates it's part of the Optix Pro trojan. When I looked that up at McAfee
I did find information about the trojan, but it still never specifically referred
to "isass.exe".
Basically, I did a search of my system for both "isass" and "Lsass". I only found
the legitimate file, "Lsass"...so I'm guessing I'm alright.
I just wanted to clarify that both actually do exist and there's a difference between
them.
