Ever since UsernameIssues mentioned that Phantom account, I started to suspect ESET badly. And after reading Greg's suggestion of uninstalling ESET, I knew what to get hold of. And yes Anak, you were spot on. A while ago I disabled the Anti-theft feature, deleted the evil account and restarted. For the first time during the last 8/9 days, there was no other account (other than the ones I created) showing in "Manage Accounts". Next, I enabled the feature again and had to create a Phantom account, with a nice friendly name, once again. Restarted. In the login screen the Phantom account showed up. Next, I deleted this account from the control panel. The next restart gave birth to an awful account in the "Manage Accounts" again, only with a different name.
When I activated Anti-theft a year back, I had to create a Phantom account which is the standard user account I was having all the time. I think, somehow, ESET lost track of this account and went on creating account on its own. Any way, have to check a few days before I can really breathe a sigh of relief.
