Hi all,

I was looking at the event viewer and noticed that there are multiple "logoff" events - event id 4634 - associated with the guest accolunt on my computer. The guest account is disabled. There is no associated "logon" event with matching event id although there are numerous SYSTEM logon events and one rather curious "anonymous user" logon event.

I am concerned that this may suggest a trojan but have no other symptons or issues to concern me other than these entries.

Can anyone shed any light?

ANONYMOUS LOGONs are routine events on Windows networks.

ANONYMOUS LOGONs are routine events on Windows networks.

It was more the fact that there was a "guest" logoff that troubled me. I have checked another machine which acts as a quasi-server (also running Vista Pro) and it has no "guest" logoff events although numerous ANONYMOUS USERs. Should the entry of an event by user GUSET even though the account is switched off, concern me?
