PeteD 0 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Hi, In anti-theft.eset.com (see screen dump) I keep getting "Windows accounts aren't password protected". This is not true. There are 2 accounts, the one I'm using to login (with password) and the phantom account (no password). All 3 devices are configured the same way, 2 are fine and one has this warning. My environment: - Windows 10, 1709 (16299.402) - Eset Internet Security 11.1.54.0 I tried already to remove device, remove phantom account from local PC, add to Anti-Theft again, same situation. What's wrong? Peter Edited April 30, 2018 by PeteD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,288 Posted April 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2018 Does also the Administrator account have a password set ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteD 0 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) My default account is Administrator, and yes, it has a password set. There are just these 2 accounts on the machine. However, a friend of mine fired my paranoia: is it possible that Anti-Theft is right and I have an invisible backdoor account on my machine, i.e. that I've been hacked?

Administrators Marcos 5,288 Posted April 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 30, 2018 Run the following command in a folder where you have write permissions: Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserAccount -Filter "LocalAccount='True'" > accounts.txt and then supply me with accounts.txt.

PeteD 0 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 There are indeed a lot of account, some of which can be explained by tools like VMWare, SQL Server etc. I've sent the list as private message, I won't post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
