I'm tweaking my new computer and I'm at Viper Room website. Well he recommends that the user should password and put a user name on their account. I did that and this came up:

What do you want to change about ASP.Net Machine A...'s account?

First, I never setup this account? Who the hell is Machine A?
I had my computer running all day without a firewall. And yes I have cable and I downloaded ZONE ALARM about 2 hours ago.

So is someone accessing my computer and did that person just create his own account? Or am I just being paranoid?

thxs.
 
You better not!! :|

Seriously though.. Was someone using my computer without me knowing about it, or am I just paranoid? I mean, what the hell was that second account about?

:Q

Well I've read that people can access your computer and can create an account if they can gain access to your harddrive. I didn't have a firewall up at that time, so I was thinking that someone was fiddling around with my computer.

If you were or weren't running Zone Alarm? I've only heard of good things about this product. Maximum PC and other PC publications all praise Zone Alarm.
