Hello!

Ad-Aware found cookies in a cache below a directory/user I did not know
existed:
c:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.

What is the directory NetworkService used for? The directory is not seen in
Windows Explorer even when folder options is set to show everything. One of
these cookies was from a gaming web that I did not visit at the time of the
cookie creation. A few hours earlier my eventlogger shut down for three
seconds and som windows popped on my screen. I visited www.adelphia.net just
before this and it went kind of slow there. I do not know if these things
are connected with each other.

Ad-Aware did not find any other stuff than cookies.

I use Windows XP.

I use firewall and anti-virus and the firewall stopped logging at 00:44

Has something bad happened to my computer? Intrusion?

Thanks in advance.
