Guest Gary Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I recently ran Belarc Advisor to verify some computer internals and saw that my guest account had a last login from two days prior. The guest account was never used and it was still set to off in User Accounts. Would a download or some MS update use that account to access the system? (Vista Home Basic SP1 with all updates). Quote
