local account keeps recreating

[timn83320]

I have a local account named, "John" and it keeps recreating every time I restart.  I didn't make an account for John.  Is it a virus?  I had the same problem in Windows 10, now I am in 11.  Can anyone help?

I found out what was wrong with it. I had installed Eset Smart Security premium which has anti-theft addition to it. I had the setting on creating a phantom account named, "John," so it was always there even when I restarted, waiting for a thief to log in and be caught on webcam.
