You add and remove ids (administrator or not) through the User Account icon in the Control Panel.
If you are asking how to remove a virus (which is what the details seem to say), reboot the computer in Safe Mode and run a virus scan. Also run a spyware scan on the PC while in Safe Mode.

if your operating system is windows xp, try to go to the control panel. your account should also be an administrator account so you can delete those other accounts. in the control panel, go to User Accounts then all you have to do now is delete those other accounts that you want to delete. As simple as that.
With regards to the "virus", just install AVG anti virus software, you can get it free in download.com. install it and run a full scan in your computer. voila!!!
-ciao!!!

If you have a PC: Control Panel > User Accounts > Change an Account

if you want a free virus scanner, go get spyware search and destroy. to open task manager without right clicking press and hold down ctrl+alt+delete like 1+2+3

try this if you know the password of the original Administrator account
#1 - go to START > RUN > type in cmd
#2 - type runas /user:admin
#3 - type net user
#4 - type net user "username to delete" /delete
* make sure you are deleting the right admin account this can not be undone...
