When one of my users goes online with a Win2K system, it shuts down with the following messages.
System Shutdown
Prompted by NT Authority/System
C:\WINNT\System32\lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code 128.

You have the Sasser Worm. It doesn't spread via email - it exploits a TCP hole and propogates out from there. If one of your users has it, they will all get it. Mine didn't show up until a restart. You also need to install the latest MS updates to close the hole.

Go to your favorite anti-virus site and get an update.
