Unknown User Account?

[Zebedi1]

Hi there, I was going through my download folders the other day to make sure I could clear the folder but I found a folder called LogMeIn Rescue which was downloaded nearly two years ago. I have no recollection of downloading this program but anyway, I right clicked on it to see when it was last modified and I clicked on security and there were two entries that read: Unknown Account S I D and then loads of numbers. Why I this here, I am pretty paranoid but since have never hear of LogMeIn and I'm confused why there are two unknown accounts on its properties. Thabms

logmein is/was legit, it allows someone to drive your machine remotely, and I think you have to explicitly let them, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been subverted for something. If you don't need it, uninstall it.

Ok, but could you explain the unknown account things? Thanks

No idea, it might record the details of who connected anonymously. You really need to think hard if you, or anyone else, had to use it to get help with something.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Zebedi1 : "Unusual Unknown Account"

So I found a program called LogMeIn Rescue that I don't use so was going to uninstall but when I went into the programs proporties and looked at security, two unknown accounts called unknown account S I D then a bunch of numbers had access. Why is this?
