According to WindowsXP, there is a user defined on my machine. However
there is no profile and there are no registry entries for this user so where
does Windows get the name of the user from?
The problem is that this user was added by my Anti-Virus software (Sophos)
as part of its AutoUpdate feature. But there was a bug in that update and
somehow I got left with this phantom user. This user seems to stop the
Autoupdate working so I want to remove all trace of it (I've already
uninstalled Sophos whilst I do this).
The user is listed by ...Control Panel, Admin. Tools, Computer Management,
Users and Groups, Users... but any attempt to delete it merely hangs my box.
FWIW, the user is calls "SophosSAU<computername>3".
My tech. guys are trying to progress this with Sophos but hopefully someone
here will be able to speed things along.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
