Different Windows login screen - normal or virus/keylogger?
I have a PC at work that has recently been infected with some malware. I've cleaned up the malware (well scans at least come up clean), but the login screen below seems to persist. I haven't seen this before. Is this a normal Windows login screen (and if so, how do I change it back), or is this related to some virus/malware issue?

I agree with the other experts. Also, I suggest to remove the system from the network immediately (if not already done) before continuing with any further troubleshooting.
since this is a leftover, try running these - if you want to try to clean it up :

but i agree a fresh install is the ONLY sure way to have a clean system

Check with your systems administrators if any of them have performed any services on your machine. Possibly the account was created by them since you are at work

While the solution was not related to malicious software, Sean Scissors provided good information that I had not previously tried (sfc)
I would recommend a complete rebuild of the machine.
