    Metalhedz: The Bad Guys Are Out in Force:

    Thanks for warning.

    I've noticed some strange happenings popping up on my system out of no where the last few weeks.

    Today I was unable to print from my HP 3210 PhotoSmart.

    After looking a little further I went through the Control Panel and pulled up Printers and Faxes.

    Somehow in the middle of the day the default printer was changed to Microsoft XPS Document Printer.

    I corrected the Default back the HP 3210, Disabled the Secondary Logon Service, changed the Windows User Account Password and restarted my system.

    Something similar happened like this last week and I had to go through the Control Panel to change the default.

    Also in the Control Panel under User Accounts, I noticed another account which is titled 'ASP.Net Machine A Password Protected'.

    This may have been created by the computer shop whenever I took my PC in for repair.

    I'm not sure if it's safe to delete this account, please advise.

    thanks again...sleuth
