Concerning the post...

the only way you could possibly blame LW for this is if you were downloading materials that somebody felt were 'offensive' (whether that be the MAFIAA or hackerites) and you got hacked....

.....

No, no downloads or uploads had taken place. In fact, I had only loaded Lime Wire, disabled it, and shut it down, but left the laptop running.

...

you make no mention of a firewall...are you aware that even with normal online activity a computer lasts less than 15 minutes before it is taken over if one is not using protection?...

...

Surprisingly there are 5 other computers all sitting next to this laptop on the same network, that are not exhibiting any symptoms. And it doesn't matter if the laptop is here or else where when I load lime wire. It was at a different location, different network, different network configuration and Lime Wire was loaded, disabled, and the laptop recieved the lsass.exe problem.

....

and here you went on the gnutella network and leeched!

....

Not knowing what version of leeching you're using, to be honest, I wouldn't mind sharing, if the laptop was able to sustain functionality for more than 24 hours with lime wire loaded. Apparently, though someone does have it's # and is able to send a deliberate payload to it through lime wire, if that is indeed happening.
