LSASS was identified as a critical security issue on 13 April 2004 (viruses have since then taken advantage of that vulnerability) in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011, Security Update for Microsoft Windows (835732) for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and can be fixed by a patch. But...
Microsoft's FAQ in that advisory also states that they did not consider that vulnerability "critical" in Windows 98/Me. Despite what many perople think, M$ is providing continued support/patches ONLY for critical issues for those "old" systems. If you run Win98 or WinMe then M$ did not provide a fix and yes your IT administrators could have simply removed it to avoid the issue entirely.

I am the IT Administrator and I know I didn't remove it. Noone else touches these computers but me.
I've scowered over the Internet and I found what you did about the security compromise, but nothing about what to do if it's been deleted.
We have Win2k Advanced Server.
