    I went to User Accounts to change a password and when i did, I noticed some new user that I've never set up or seen before. It was set up as a limited account and password protected. I changed the password and have been scouring trying to find out where it came from and when. I don't find any login's for the account in the event logs, but this is REALLY freaking me out! It doesn't show up on the log in screen or the document/settings files, and it has a strange name. ASP.NET Machine A... is it's name. I looked up asp.net and it's MS related or some such nonsense but I'm doubting that's what this is about. any ideas out there?

    No problem! It pays to check things that look unusal to you.
