My Computer Changed To 14v21 In Start Menu (xp)

On my start menu, the option "My Computer" suddenly changed to "14v21." It happened yesterday, but I don't know exactly when. I noticed it after visiting irs.gov and downloading a pdf. I was warned that I didn't have the lastest version of adobe reader and was, thus, vulnerable to attacks. However, it could have happened most anytime yesterday. For example, a family member played pogo.com games for hours.

Right now those are my top two suspects: irs.gov and pogo.com, but I really have no idea.

Anyone else ever seen this?

I did a deep system scan with bitdefender...

Two threats were found. Both were in my temporary internet files...

1. ******.SWF.Cxx

2. Trojan.JS.Iframe.AYZ

But that doesn't mean they are related to this strange thing my Start Menu is doing.

So, I didn't realize that one can fairly easily edit the "my computer" name...kind of like a file name. So, I may have had some strange copy-n-paste accident and unwittingly edited myself. I changed it back to "my computer"...everything else seems fine so far.
