Agent User account appearing on Welcome Screen since 17318

Thread needs solution

I recently upgraded to build 17318 (from the initial version of ABR11). Since the upgrade, 'Acronis Agent User' appears on the Welcome screen whenever I start windows. Given all the other issues that ABR11 has caused me, I suppose that this one is only mildly irritating -- still, I'd like to get it taken care of.

1) Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I assume most people don't make use of the welcome screen (i.e. those in a domain), but I thought I'd ask in any event.

2) Is there any harm in hiding the acronis account? I was going to follow the instructions here:

Thanks for any input.

Win 7 64, ABR11 17318.

IIRC, it may be caused by the fact it's an administrator account since Update 0, not just member of backup operators.

I'd like to know how to get rid of it too!

I even uninstalled disk director advanced and it still remains.
