 * I was looking at my list of users, and in ADMINISTRATORS I see
    “Googlebot2”.
   What is that?

 * I’m inclined to think that’s a hack, unless you have some plugin related to googlebots.
 * Delete the ID.
    Change your passwords (WP AND your ISP password).
 * Then review these:

 * You should upgrade. Definitely. Older versions of WP are always suspect.
