Hi.
I discovered an account that had been set up on my comp without my
knowledge. It wasn't by myself or the other admin, and was known as ASP.net.
 I deleted it immediately, but I am wondering if that has only been removed
from the surface and 'whoever' is still able to access my comp? I am running
XP, scan with Norton AV twice a week, and run ad-aware (lavasoft) at least
every 3rd day. I had Kazaa installed, but removed it and it's nasties about
5 days ago. I am on a cable connection. i am not very computer literate, so
if there is more info required, let me know.
Thanks,
Dee
