I'm running a windows 10 pc and was looking at the Credentials Manager. I have an ethernet line to a router/modem.

I see generic credentials added routinely for XboxLive, virtualapp/didlogical, and SSO_POP_Device. If I delete them they return. I do not own an Xbox. Is this anything to be concerned about? The Xbox account name was blank. The other 2 had the same user name. Thanks.

I read somewhere that virtualapp/didlogical and SSO_POP_Device had something to do with windows live, outlook and messenger. I don't use any of these. I just open the microsoft store to keep apps updated.

I found that I had an Xbox account, which is strange because I never set one up or owned an Xbox. It must have been setup from the game Grand Theft Auto IV from years ago. They had something called the Social Club which might have converted to Xbox live.

At any rate I did not even have a Microsoft Account until a few months ago, never thought I needed one until I upgraded to Windows 10. So this unsecured Xbox account was just out there to be tampered with. It had no privacy settings, just wide open for broadcasting gameplay, recording sound etc. Saw some login attempts from Brasil. So I think that's why I kept getting generic xbox credentials.

Not sure I solved the problem, but on the right track.
