Re: cnbabe, common name, adware

OK, I tried logging in to each account while in safe mode. The problem is
that there were only 2 accounts listed to choose from (administrator and one
other) when there should have been 3 total. I went back into regular mode
and checked the accounts. I found ASP.NET listed as a limited account. I
didn't add this account. Is this a concern? Anyway, how do I get to all of
the accounts while in safe mode?
