Checked Control Panel > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials and found a set of login credentials called the following: Internet or Network Address: virtualapp/didlogical Username: <I've removed it for privacy reasons> Password: <Password is Hidden> Persistence: Local Computer I've tried deleting it. It reappears every time I restart the computer. Can anyone explain how this got here and how to permanently remove it from the computer? It's a security liability if nothing else.
Been asked about for a long time https://social.technet.microsoft.co...ere-to-get-more-details?forum=w7itprosecurity
That thread isn't very forthcoming with answers. Also, there seems to be a lot of suspicion about this credential, and how it can be exploited with network-facing services to gain control of remote machines. How do I find out what the password to the credential is? How do I permanently remove the credential (clicking 'remove' causes it to reappear at next system restart)? Also, no one seems to supply any supporting evidence as to what it actually does. Just a series of statements about it with no real official sources.
