Huh? ASP.net created a new User on my system..?

After finishing installing critical updates on a fresh XP Pro installation,
I noticed a new User on my computer that I never authorized.

Name: "ASP.net Machine A..."
Type: Limited Account
Password Protected

What is this? I don't even remember installing ASP.net. Can I just remove
ASP.net, and will this get rid of the added account?

You can, but be aware, you may have installed an application that needs .NET
to function - and in anycase the new account is taking up almost zero disk
space, so why worry?
