    suspicious user/local account on my pc


    hi I have been getting a suspicious user/local account on a (new) pc (about 2-3 weeks old)
    that's called ybppcowywpz or something like that I have looked up anything about it and nothing comes up I have tried to delete it and every time I shut down my pc then turn it back on it comes back I have a good anti-virus and I cost a lot of money to buy (like it was $190) so I don't think it would be anything on my pc but I can't get rid of it and don't know how to if anyone has seen anything like this before and know how to remove it I would like to know

    :)

    suspicious user/local account on my pc

    Local Acct user and MS account user - sync them or merge them


    If the local account is the one where you have most of your personal data, this is how I would do it:

    • Sign in to your Microsoft account
    • Copy all documents, pictures and other personal data from Microsoft account's user folders to corresponding folders in user Public (contents of MS account Documents folder to Public Documents folder and so on)
    • Sign out from Microsoft account
    Notice that above steps are only required if Microsoft account user folders contain data you want to keep. If its user folders are empty or do not contain anything worth saving, you can skip the above steps. Continue from below.

    • Sign in to the local account
    • Delete the Microsoft account (Option One in this tutorial)
    • Switch your local account to a Microsoft account (tutorial)
    • Copy the data backed up from old Microsoft account to Public folders to new Microsoft account in corresponding folders

    That's it. Using the Public folders as temporary storage you will have none whatsoever file owner / permission issues later on.
