Hello full-disclosurers,

Does anyone know anything interesting about Support_388945a0 account 
which is created by default during Windows XP/2003 installation?

I have seen MS technet links, maybe someone knows more about?

That is a "help and support account" that you should disable.
Also set very long random password and forget it.
