O.P. Strange MSN Profile on my PC
I have noticed a strange profile on my PC when I try to login to either hotmail or Windows Live Messenger. Although the address appears there I have looked in the following directory and it does not appear there:


Users/[PCNAME]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Messenger

Under this folder i have a folder with my own email address  for hotmail and Messenger-

Users/[PCUSER]/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Messenger/xyz@hotmail.com

I have checked the registry and the unusual address does come up in registry search.

The question is: does someone have to be physcially logging into my PC for this profile to appear or could it have happened remotely such as a hacker?

Any answers appreciated. Also is there any way to establish the date and time when this user created this profile on my PC?
