This would not be a user, per say, but it can be SpyWare. So I would say NO.
Keep your own Anti-virus up to date, and check the status regularly.
Get and update several Anti-spyware solutions. I use AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destroy. I use the free versions from http://www.download.com Update and run these regularly. Especially IMMEDIATELY after an upexpected pop-up.
Download and install FireFox free from http://www.mozilla.com This is a browser that is safer to use than IE. Use this for general surfing and google searching. Only use IE when you MUST have IE, such as Windows Updates.
If you have Windows XP with SP2, activate the Windows firewall and check the status. If you don't, get Zone Alarm the free version from http://www.zonelabs.com
Take these steps to keep your computer ALIVE.

I think it is a YES. I create a account in XP and then I add it to "Deny Logon Locally" list in Windows Police Editor. That makes the account invisible in the Windows Welcome Screen and no one can use this account to login anymore. Contact me for more details.

There are ways to can be logged into an XP box and it not showing up to the casual glance, tricky tho, it's not a, 'standard' feature.
