Unknown User on laptop

I logged onto my laptop recently, and I noticed there was another account user (named "solafedu") I'm not sure how long it has been there, and I've removed it once, but now it's back again. I ran my antivirus software and it didnt detect anything, so I'm wondering if I should just factory reset my laptop? Or if this is even a problem?

Hi Alexa,

That certainly looks suspicious. To inspect the system and remove the malware (if present), please do the following:

1) Please download Malwarebytes Antimalware, run a scan, and eliminate every malware it finds.

 

2) Run the Farbar Scanner and share your logs.

 

 

(How-To: Share OneDrive files and folders - Microsoft Support)

 

Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the Farbar Scanner executable as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping  in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.

There is no active malware in your system.

Change the "solafedu" account to a limited account and then set it to disabled. To do so from the admin Command Prompt, run:

  • net localgroup administrators solafedu /delete

  • net user solafedu /active:no
