    Suspicious account/group found on Windows


    I found something that caught my eye earlier. It appears as though an account has been on my computer, and I was not aware of it. It seems to be deleted according to the red x on the icon, and when I checked under accounts, I couldn't find it. I did a Google search for the account name but nothing turned up. I would like to know if anyone else knows what could have made this suspicious account appear.
    Actually it looks more like a group, but whatever the case, I just hope it's nothing to be worried about. I've used software like teamviewer and have another account on the computer but I got sort of suspicious when I saw that there was another group (or account) on my PC. The account goes by the name gmpulbpg. Would remote access software like teamviewer create an account like this?

    :)

    Cannot Connect Gmail Account to Email App

    I apologize I found a work around. I found that on Google Accounts Help, if you go to Suspicious Activity they include a link where you can give Google permission to allow email access with less secure apps.

    Win 10 - One Drive Mail Problems

    For those who have upgraded to Win 10 you might want to check your mail contact groups. One Drive does not allow you to use mail contact groups. You cannot add to them or in fact you cannot even access the groups. However, I have found a way around this
    latest problems with One Drive and Win 10.

    To access your mail contact groups and be able to add to the group or add new groups I have found this way to do it.

    Open Start and click on Settings. When it come sup click on the Accounts Box. When this is open click on Manage My Account. Finally you will see View My Email. Open this and you will see your email as it appeared before the Win 10 Upgrade, or rather
    I beginning to believe Down Grade would be more appropriate title.

    Here you should be able to access your mail contact groups, add groups and edit etc.

    I have found that there is a limitation, if you had more then one email account it seems it will only allow you to open the main account which in my case was Windows Live Mail. Before in Win 8.1 you could sign in and out to switch email accounts. You
    cannot do this now so I had to build my groups from my other email account in the Windows Live Mail Account. I was fortunate, however, many of you may have several email accounts and not be able to access your mail contact groups.

    Another fix that M.S. needs to get on. I cannot understand why they would release an upgrade with all these problems.
