Awhile back, my sister told me they needed to install something on my computer and asked me for my admin password. I simply entered the password and let them have at it.
Well then, the next day when I went to go use my computer, the admin account name was changed to my name (All lower case, which I'd never do.) when it was originally Administrator. And the password was removed.
My sister denies ever doing it and says her boyfriend wouldn't have done that, except maybe by accident. I don't believe it. You have to go through more then 1 or 2 clicks to do what they did.
In any event, I have also found a user folder on my computer called "jon" that I never made, and there are no new user accounts under that name either, under the user accounts panel. Is it possible to have hidden user accounts I don't know about?

From what I know I'm pretty sure it is possible, sometimes I read virus reports and such phrases as: "Then the worm hides its new user profile" or "The remote hacker creates a new user account and hides it from the computer user(s) view.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can do that. I forget how, though; I saw it in a youtube video a while ago.
