I was checking the Event Viewer Security log and noticed that there are alot
of event id:538 with NT Authority\Anonymous Logon as the user.

When I login myself it shows my name under the user table.


Any help would be appreciated.

If this is an XP client system, then turn on the firewall.
You are seeing audit records due to anonymous connections
to your machine. Depending on the OS version and the role
of the machine, in domain or not, etc. and the network exposure
it must have, then these may be desirable, or not.
In group policy and/or local policy in the security options one
can disallow anonymous activity.
