Thread Name: Tech: A user account I didn't put on?
Subject: A user account (ASP.net) I didn't put on
Today my printer ran out of paper. For some reason, I have to restart the computer when that happens. I clicked Restart and a box came up saying something like "Other users are logged on to this computer. If you shut down, they might lose work."

Other users!? My computer has only had one account on it (Owner) since Day 1. How could another user get on my computer? I checked the control panel, and the other account is for ASP.net. Wikipedia says that it is a Microsoft thing for setting up web pages. I have never taken a step toward setting up a web page.

Is the appearance of an ASP.net user account on my computer a sign of something wrong, or is it normal? (I removed it, checked my bank account, and ran AdAware.)
