Have I been hacked?

I have recently downloaded and installed the microsoft
baseline analyser software. I have then run the software
and one of it's complaints is that I have more than 2
administrators.
I have changed the main admin accounts name but the name:
x administrator
x then my new name
x then a complicated name which consists of a very long
string of numbers
is listed.
Is this normal or has someone hacked in and created an
account for themselves? I only ask because I recently
discovered I was vulnerable to those messenger popup ads
that so many people are talking about (I think I have
fixed that now).

thanks,

Darren
 
the long numbers which you see are the security
descriptors (SID's) fro deleted users . Nt keeps the track
of users or objects with the help of this SID's
