No update/ missing user

[Kodiak]

Not sure if this was happening before or after spyware/virus clean up but when you go to windows update and try to see if there are any updates IE will start up and say done but there is nothing there. Date is correct so it's not that. Nothing comes up on the web page. Also when you go to user accounts you get an empty window. You do get the back button and the home with the icon there but nothing in the window below. This computer had obviously been used to surf the web and check out porn since when I started it all sorts of pop up attacked. Anyway, once all cleaned out these two problems remained. PC is running winxp home. By the way, I can also go to microsoft site and get the same thing.

Edit: I guess I should of looked a little harder before I posted. This is what I was experiencing and here is the solution.
