Thanks for the link.
The 3rd admin wasn't there the last time I ran MBSA & I haven't seen it
before.
My account is there and the guest account which is off, but it doesn't show
any other accounts but MBSA picked up one which is all numbers & dashes. I
had this once before but the strange one showed in admin as a strange name so
I deleted that and things were fine. Now my PC is picking up extra 'at risk'
files in every Norton scan that I can't delete.
