    IUSER_COMPUTERNAME (the anonymous user account) will show up on your thread
    token if you enable anonymous access in IIS AND you enable impersonation in
    ASP.NET. Impersonation will impersonate the current logged on user, which
    is the anonymous user account when the user did not authenticate via IIS.

    As to whether you can forget about, that depends on whether you plan to use
    impersonation and anonymous IIS access.

    IUSR_COMPUTERNAME in old asp, so my question is what is the relevance of the
    anonymous IIS account IUSR_COMPUTERNAME - is it used anywhere in asp.net -
    should I forget about it?
