Account Unknown in permissions

I had a little problem with my permissions but I have it fixed. During this I noticed in my C:/Documents and Settings/All users folder>properties, that there was an unknown Account named "AccountUnknown(S-1-5-32-547)" with full permissions except take ownership and on the Properties of the "Default User" folder properties> security tab, The same account is there too, but only with "read and execute, list folder content, and read" permissions. I have some pics to show what it looked like. Is this normal or does mcafee use this in there security software, the software I use thrue my isp. do I remove it or what? Thanks so much.

Hi

I've had this problem before but it was on a PC connected to the network. Something to do with loading profile names over a network, the computer would just display a strange account name like what you've found.

Don't know if this is any use but might be relevant.
