I went in to my user accounts and found a asp.net account where the heck did it come from?

Question

I recently installed a online game is this the problem

Answer 1

The aspnet_wp or ASP.NET Machine Account is created when the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 is installed onto a Windows XP computer. The user is created to run the asp.net worker process used in Microsoft's Internet Information Services, which allows ASP.net to run on your local web server (This is pretty much its only use, it is not used to run normal .net managed executables). There is not a need to worry about this user's presence; it was not created in malicious way.

He probably forgot to delet the account.

The game you recently installed has nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

In user account's only way a name for user should be able to get in there is if you put it.I would just delete that user.If your only one on pc,then you should be only one in that account.

Answer 3
