Someone explain the process Isass.exe. Is it safe? Can a
unsafe "system" process be stopped?

How is it spelled :
Virus and spyware writers are getting more cunning. They are now disguising
their viruses to look or sound like Windows system files. Quick quiz: out of
the following, which of the files is the spyware (browser hijack), virus
(Trojan) and the crucial system file?
* Isass.exe
* lsass.exe
Hey, wait a minute, the two files are the same! Well, they are not. The
first starts with the letter capital i (I) and second starts with the letter
lowercase l (L). The one starting with i (isass.exe) is a virus/Trojan but
Windows users may easily mistake it for the very important security process,
lsass.exe (starts with a lowercase L, as in lucky).
Yes processes can be stopped, try giving us information though about your OS
etc. Any process can be stopped, but if you get it wrong your system may
crash LOL

Hope this helps
