RE: Weird Windows logon attempts

Hi,

I had the same issue since February 3rd. I decided to finally get around to figuring it out so I searched Microsoft's TechNet site and came up with the solution.....disable "fast user switching". It worked for me. Hopefully this will help others.

Sincerely,

Mary McAllister

Hi, I'll respond for Harry who is bogged down with other things at the moment.

It turned out that we had several machine infected with SoBig, sigh... All our machines are supposed to have up to date AV software but with 1000s of machines some get missed.
