The account is set up by the .Net 1.1 Framework setup routine (you may have
installed this from Windows Update).
You should not have renamed it or changed it's password.
It is required by applications that use the .NET Framework 1.1 to execute in
a lower more secure context then your account.
Have a look in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel and remove the
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Then if the account still exists remove it.
Then reinstall the Framework.
