Thank you. I was able to delete the other user account.

Also, I successfully downloaded the SP upgrade package from Microsoft. At
first, it wouldn't let me, because it said my windows XP was a VAL or

number.

I think one of the previous posts identified 2 places to download spyware
and adware. I will try these. Thanks everybody.
