Hi,
After installing the Beta I noticed a new user account
had been added in Win XP Pro. This user is not visible at
the logon screen, but is only visible when I log on as
Administrator and view accounts through Control Panel.
The new user is ASP.NET Machine.......A. It is an account
with limited access.

Is this part of the antispyware network?

Many thanks.
 
This isn't related to Microsoft Antispyware. As the other reply notes, this
is probably related to .NET, and should be both safe to leave, and, in fact,
a good thing--i.e. if you remove it, you will probably have to reinstall
some software to re-create it.

Such accounts are very carefully crafted to limit their power, so I wouldn't
worry about it too much.
