Hmmm… I was Googling and did not find a place to download this specific file.
Can you try to overinstall Windows? Overinstallation can solve the problem and you won’t lose your programs, settings, data, files, etc.
Just choose ‘Repair’ installation of Windows and install ‘over’ the old installation.
Are you using XP?

If the file was lsass.exe, it shouldn’t be in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder.
The message you see is because the key or shortcut pointing to it is still on your computer.
The real file is located c:\windows\system32
should NOT be confused with the legitimate Windows lsass.exe process, always located in the Winnt\System32 or Windows\System32 folder
from several searches for the file location
