Default Who's that knockin on my computer? How did he/she get in there?

There is an account on my computer that I did not know of. The Name is
ASP.NET Machine A... This account is password protected. I have no known
spyware issues or viruses. How did this account get on my comp? Will I have
problems if I delete it? Or for what is it being used?
