Recently I opened my pc in safe mode, did some checking on the properties on all my installed programs and found out that there is an unknown user in all the programs and all show the same account code. Is this a virus? I tried to remove it from all the programs but managed to remove only from a few programs. On most programs after each time I removed two new ones appear all bearing the same account code. I have done complete AVG anti virus and anti spyware scans. But no virus or spyware found.

Is your computer a one-user system with you as the administrator? If so, get on as your sole user. (If necessary, go through logoff, not shutdown), then at logon screen quickly ctl-alt-delete to see what userids pop up and see if your unknown user pops up, then go to true administrator userid and go to admin services and make the heck sure user accounts are set up the way you want...

I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no such problem. The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at
