ran virus scan, turns out there were virus's on there but it had nothing to do with lsrss.exe.<br />
<br />
instead its a service Eventask that was running on the machine. &nbsp;The lsrss.exe process is dependant on this service. &nbsp;Eventask is a service that was installed by the NT resource kit (srvany.exe) to run the lsrss.exe. &nbsp;<br />

it wasn't a virus, but I had viruses elsewhere anyway!!!

Hey experts,<br />
<br />
I setup an apache server on a Windows 2000 machine a week ago or so, and an email came in from the web host saying that an IRC client was running on the server (this is a SBC dedicated host). &nbsp;It's running from C:\winnt\system32\lsrss.ex<wbr />e. &nbsp; Goggle doesn't turn up anything on this, so that made me worry alot. &nbsp;Is this probably a virus or what?<br />

Anyone know what lsrss.exe is??

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
