New user created automatically with each restart

I am facing this peculiar problem since last 4/5 days. Whenever I log into windows, a new user "wobrsqqw" gets created which is of the type "Standard User". From the control panel, it can be easily deleted. But, if I restart again, as soon as I get into windows, the same user gets created again. Once, I renamed it and restarted and surprisingly no new user got created. As soon as I deleted it and restarted again, again it got created. What might be the possible reason behind this? Thanks in advance.

The only time this happens legitimately is if Windows Update needs a way to update your account to get past your password, or if an imaging or backup program has similar need. Are any of these the case?

Let us know what the scans find.

Thanks for your responses.
Ztruker, I also suspected it to be some malware. But a full scan with the antivirus did not reveal anything significant. I also downloaded and installed Malware Bytes Anti Malware and did a full scan. It too, did not find anything. I also checked the Startup tab of System Config. I am attaching screen shots of it.


gregrocker, no imaging or backup program as per my knowledge was getting executed during all this while. Is there a way to check them out?

You can uncheck all of those except Eset. Then test your touchpad to see if you have all the functions you want, e.g. scrolling.

andrew129260, as per your suggestion I am attaching the log files.

gregrocker, I unchecked all of those, except Eset. Touchpad lost its scrolling functionality. Next, I unchecked Eset too. But even then, result was the same - the user got created perfectly each time.

You can re-enable the touchpad software then if you want scrolling.

Ok Greg, I will see if the guidelines given in the troubleshooting steps page help. Thanks.
