Is there a left pointing carat on the left edge of the Notification Area?

Kelly -
What are the other considerations?

Strange thing happened when I logged off, which I had never done before. I
found another account called "ntfod". That letter combination means
absolutley nothing to me. Could there have been some kind of virus, malware,
etc that could have created that account? Anyway, I deleted it. No apparent
repurcussions, at this time anyway.
