Hello
That account is added when you download .NET Framework - it is used =
mainly be programmers although some programs are now beginning to use it =
- Drive Image 7 is one. If you think that you don't need it you can =
either leave it there or delete it - it can't be disabled.

Will & Haus,

Thanks for the link. It looks like I'll be spending some serious time
learning about what's buried inside my computer system.

Take it easy.
