user account ASP.NET ??

[Loctite]

Tonight while changing settings to my daughters account
I noticed there is a new user account that I did not create !
It is ASP.NET Machine A...'s account and its password
protected...........
Where the heck did it come from and what is it there for ?
something legit or was i hacked ?

Thanks

It's from installing the .net framework. It is normal and nothing to worry
about. When you start coding asp.net pages, that account will be used by
the IIS.

The account was created when you installed the Windows .NET Framework
1.1 update from Windows Update. The account is used by .NET Framework
enabled applications to run in a
lower and therefore a more secure context then running under your account
(which may be an administrator or some other highly privileged account).
Removal or modification of this account may break any .NET Framework
applications. (There are already a few out there and significanlty more on
their way).
