    hmmm... This is weird

    Does anyone know exactly what this is.
    I'll have to give a little history to this. I rebooted earlier and Norton was dead. Ok I can deal with this. I figure I have a bug and will need to find it. I havent been downloading anythong so I figure it floated in though the connection. OK so I go to check the status of the firewall, stick a fork in it The XP firewall is well done, dead, It gives a wmi error when even trying to look at the options. Theres info in the log until it died though. Anyway Now heres the part I havent ever seen and Im not sure what to think of it. I opened user accounts from the control panel to find a new account that looks very suspiscious. It's named 'ASP.net Machine A' It's a limited account and I know I didn't put that there. Has anyone seen this before and it related to the other glitches? I think I have fixing it covered. Fdisk format reinstall du dah du dah. I Would like to know what this is and how it got there.
