Strange Profile Created

I am running win2k sp2. Recently a profile has been created named "mycomputername$". I checked the user profiles and it lists the new profile as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as a local profile type. I have deleted this profile only to see it recreated the next day not at login but while I am working at my designated tasks.

Could this be a keylogger?


 
Could be...

of course you have latest anti-virus defs and a firewall - right?

Just checked mine and I have nothing like this...

SP3 is now available of course...
 
I don't think it's a keylogger, though. They don't behave like that. Could be a virus, indeed.
