Local account I didn't create, named with some random letters keeps reappearing after I delete it.
What have you tried?
Deletion of that account, multiple times. Machine is not infected.
Windows 10 Pro x86. Activated. Fresh install. I noticed this a yesterday for the first time. No signs of infection except that unusual behavior. Scanned with ESS 8, Zemana and MalwareBytes. Nothing found. Everything is working perfectly except that "anomaly"
Found one guy also that has the same problem http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...s/16f04b95-9268-445e-819e-72e1fb465049?auth=1
No answer from Microsoft.
Does anyone have some info about this?
Edit : Solved
ESET Smart Security (Antiteft) keeps creating them.
Actually it wasn't so quick I was investigating the whole morning here and found nothing. Usually (On Windows 7, 8.1) ESET Antiteft reminds you on your account page that you need to create a Phantom Account with desired name, which will serve its purpose when/if device is stolen. But apparently on Windows 10, ESET creates another random letter account if something is not right (for example there is account with no password), creating vicious circle :
I will create another account because this one is not right => newly created account isn't right either because it isn't a good example of a Phantom Account so I will => create another random letter account, and so on.... Solution => Remove device completely from ESET AntiTeft and re-add it again. In case someone needs this info
