I went into the windows logs and found some unknown and very unusual logs that prompted me to farther search around for anomalies.One such anomaly is that I found is an unfamiliar local user account with admin security access on my local disk C:. Among other placesI am asking if anyone is familiar with this, can recognize it as malicious or standard, and if malicious, what I can do about it?
