Hello.
About a month ago I saw for the first time the username system on Windows 8. I have never created as much I remember a username in my computer. However, suddenly this new thing popped before my eyes. But it was'nt a request or something reasonable that Windows noted me. It claimed that my username is (I rather not to post his name) and not my name. I somehow knew this name is familiar to me. I did'nt use my computer much since I had a lot tests so for a second I thought I created this username and made up this name and I just don't remember...
I forgot about this, edited the username so it will be named as my name naturally and kept moving forward. Now I use much more in the computer since it's summer vacation .
Today, I watched a video and I heard a Skype message notification an unusual thing since my Skype username is really unused (I assume that sound is part of the video I watched). Anyway, I entered into the Skype application and checked out if I have a message. But what I saw is something I remember but not very well. I saw the same name I had in my username. The same name of the username I didn't create. In fact, I don't know this name and it doesn't look like a name from my country at all. It was a Skype contact of me and not just any- it was in the favourite list. And I never use the favourite rate system in anything (except Youtube). Our conversation is completely blank and he has a picture (and he didn't look like a guy from my country either). I removed him in 2-3 minutes.
Now here comes the question: Is it something I need to worry about? Could he put a spyware\virus in my computer? My computer works fine, perhaps a tiny bit slow but now drastically. Please I need some help. Are my computer or my privacy in danger?
