I had my daughters account set up as a administrative
account until I sorted some things out and no one at home
even knows how to do those sorts of things on my
computer, when going back to switch her to limited I
noticed a new user account that I had never added!

I have 3 user accounts set up on my computer and we all
know that the guest option is there too as need but this
user account has a strange name one which makes me wonder
if it was some sort of update that created this account
or am I being hacked?!!!

This user account name is (ASP Net Machine A...) if
there's anyone who knows please advise me because I feel
the need to delete the account but I just want to make
sure it's ok before I do.

Amy,

This account was created as you installed one of our updates for the .NET
Framework.
It is nothing to be alarmed about. (It is used by .NET Framework
applications to run as a lower privileged user account - and thus increase
your security)
