    AccountUnknown S-1-5-21—1000, has security permissions of installed programs on newly reset...


    Suspected malware on my pc so reset it. After doing so, this AccountUnknownS-1-5-21-xxx-xxx-1000 appeared under permissions for anything that I downloaded Chrome etc. Seeing this, and with Microsoft live chat advice, I did a fresh reinstallation of windows, and still this unknown account appeared! I know that the general suggestion is that this is a deleted account, and that the SID ending in 1000 means it was the first account created on my device, but the only account created on this fresh installation is my own local account. I was suggested to remove this account from the ProfileList i

    Should I be concerned about "SqmUpload_S-1-5-21-2585291226-2271656789-3205841708-1000"???

    Update:

    I assume from
    this article     that my -1000 is harmless, though I'm not 100% sure. I have limited skill in PowerShell but I tried to find out what I could, which is little. I don't know if it helps but this is what I found:

    My hunch is that this was a file/process created for something that has since been deleted and the file is now redundant/useless.
