My bet is it didn't. It created it using an elevated service maybe. Or got hit it across the network from another machine......that is exactly how conflikr works. What virus is it?

It turns out that a new profile was created named "XXXX" with administrative permissions, So, my question is how can a virus/trojan create a user while logged in as a restricted user?
