That is not from the XP install.

It may be innocent, from some software you installed
after the install of XP complete, or it may not . . .

I have just had the same thing happen to me. Also a new installation
of XP Professional. The only additional program I had loaded was
MS-Office2003.

Because of all the viruses around at the moment, I downloaded the
latest Windows updates on 31 January. The next time I re-booted, the
cclogin username was there.

The only error message I saw before that, was when I opened up Outlook
and got an "address book not found" message.

i have had winxppro for a few years now, and i recently have whiped my computer and reloaded it, and i set up myself a password protected account in it, because i am the sole user. and i got on one day and there was another account, named 'cclogin" and i did the only thing that i could think of at the time that could be the right thing to do, and that was to delete it, so i did, and then today it poped up again, and ive been looking around a few different fourms here lately, and ive heard some people describe it as a hacker backdoor of sorts, but i dont know.... i didnt ever use the accounts before i reloaded everything, so maybe it was there, and i never noticed it because i wasnt using that feture, i dont know, but that is the whole problem, i dont know..... so any help would be great
