    User account type changed to debugger (was Administrator)

    I have many pc and out of those 2 pc with Windows XP on the local lan have started to bahave strangely and if I went to check up on them to see if I could find something wrong then I came to something that on each of them the original user account which was admin type has been changed to type = debugger user? Does anyone know what is happening here or what does it means?

    I cannot say for sure but have you installed .NET, Visual Studio or something on your computer? Adding users to the Debugger Users group may create a security risk by allowing those users to access the machine. You should add only those users that need debugger access on that particular machine. Do not add Everyone to the Debugger Users group.

    Check out the microsoft article "Users must belong to the Administrators group or to the Debugger Users group to use the Script Editor component in Office" from here - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;891962

    You can even try to turn off the Machine Debug Manager, Mdm.exe, which is a program that is installed with the Microsoft Script Editor to provide support for program debugging. The Microsoft Script Editor is included with Microsoft Office 2000, and also can be obtained from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. Get the step by step method over here - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;321410
