Follow Up - Secret or Hidden administrator account"S-1-5-21-809299238-1620257 16-2501954535-1003" ?
MS Baseline Security Analyzer is warning me about "more than two" administrator accounts. While I recognize 2 of them the third is listed as "S-1-5-21-809299238-162025716-2501954535-1003" however going to Management Tools etc. this "administrator" does not show, i.e. I can't control it by removing it. What is this thing??? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.11/11/09 9:10 MSTFollow Up: An AVG scan revealed the following warning:"C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-809299238-162025716-2501954535-1005\Dc79.exe";"The file is signed with a broken digital signature, issued by: Microsoft Corporation.";""This is one of several AVG warnings about broken digital signatures, including the item below, which is actually XP's SP3 installation file which would not complete installation due to an "access denied" message late in theprocess.
