    Windows 7 Created new user account


    A few days ago I noticed a new user account appear it's called slxfqtchcmf
    I logged in as Admin and deleted user - it comes back every time I restart machine

    I've run anti-virus ESET found nothing, also run Malwarebytes and Windows defender again nothing found.

    What is this mystery new user account and how do I get rid of it

    Thanks

    Regardless of what the AV show, I think it is some sort of virus. If it were my computer, I would go back a few weeks prior to the problem with system restore. Worse case scenario, information can be sent to some unknown location without your permission.
