Windows Vault- generic credential listed, not entered by me- "virtualapp/didlogical".  Safe or Rogue?  (Attn: Nicholas Li, Moderator-08/26/09-same issue).
Hello. I've read through the previous forums and saw this question asked many times, but never answered (8/26/09). I especially wanted to try to reach the source of a posted answer on that date (8/26/2009)- "Nicholas Li- Microsoft Contingent Staff, Moderator". As he came the closest to answering. He said he would perform research and get back to the other person. But I saw no more posts, to follow. (I thought since he already knows about this he may know the answer). "The Question/Situation": In Windows Vault, under 'Generic Credentials'; there is an entry (states made today-7/7/11), that I did not make nor recognize. Description : "Internet/Network address: 'virtualapp/didlogical', Username: 02gssyadfctm, Password: not revealed, Persistence: Local Machine". Is this entry, "normal/safe" or "Rogue" (hijacker, keylogger, etc..)? If anyone knows please advise. (Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit). Thanks, RolloMay. RolloMay

Hi, In that post, Barry has indicated the following conclusion: So, officially, it is indeed created by Windows Live, as part of their authentication process. It is not a key-logger or a virus or your banking credentials.

Hi Alex, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I read Barry's post, where he does state (the above). He states, (para-quote): "I'm a microsoft employee and asked around, after was brought up on channel 9. So officially, it is indeed by Windows Live, etc...". I guess I didn't take that as "the answer" (per se), for two reasons. One, I'm currently working with a microsoft tech support agent, on this; and he doesn't seem, eagerly convinced. (and yes, I sent him the screen shot of Barry's post). Secondly, Barry doesn't really explain this. Just states I went asking around, therefore it's safe. (But primarily the first reason). Thanks, Rollo MayRolloMay
