    44 default user folders located in user folder


    Today at work I was working on a computer that was very slow after booted up. Applications wouldn't execute and it was basically un usable. I noticed inside the user folder besides the main user account and the public folder there was 43 user folders and I have never seen this before any ideas? I have a feeling that has a something to do with the unusability of the computer. Regardless I gotta back up the data and reinstall windows.

    It looks like the result of an infection.
    All those user accounts are the same day and the exact same time.

    I wouldn't even back up the data on that comp. Just do a clean install.
    Sometimes, ya just gotta start over.
