NT Authority\System

Hi, anyone help with this query please?

Occasionally after loading a piece of software, or rather, activating and
registering it, can't be too precise as the following occurs unexpectdly.
I get a square box/icon slap bang in the middle of the monitor saying: NT
Authority\System
LSA Shell (export version) encountered a problem and needs to close.
ISASS.exe. And there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Have one 40Gb Hard drive partitioned C: and D: and, if I remember correctly,
this 'thing' pointed or said something about D: drive, or words to that
effect. Then a countdown that I can't stop and closes down the Internet.

Would formatting just the C: drive and installing software create this
problem?

All software is legal and I've used it for years. It mainly happens after
re-installing or upgrading Win 98se to Windows XP onto an oldish machine.

Many thanks for your help as it can be very frustrating to have this happen
after reloading everything

This is probably a virus.
Blaster or Sasser.
