it shows 'Internet Explorer (32/64 bit): Pic: http://picsorban.com/upload/unwanted aco****s.jpg Default 777ER Administrator Chris (Boeing) However when I go to Control panel User Accounts Pic: http://picsorban.com/upload/useraccountsprblm.jpg I only see these accounts: Administrator 777ER Guest Now when I navigate to: My Computer C:\ drive Documents and Settings it shows up: 777ER Administrator All Users Chris Chris.BOEING Default User Pic: http://picsorban.com/upload/accountsfile.jpg I am on 777ER currently and would like to keep this one.

It might be that Spybot is looking up in various places to compile the list, whereas the Control Panel User Accounts only shows local accounts (you'd need to use a domain user account tool to change domain accounts). The other possibility is that they were local accounts at one point, but have been deleted or renamed - but Spybot is still picking them up because the Documents and Settings folder still exist containing their NTUSER.DAT registry files. I'd make a backup of those folders in Documents and Setttings (just in case you need the files later), and then delete those folders. Run Spybot again and see if it still lists them - if so, do a search of your registry for the account names. -- Dan |
