I've noticed that I have 3 User Profiles under Advance Settings for my computer. The first one is Default Profile, 1.5MB, the second one is gilloz PC/gilloz 650MB and the last one is gilloz PC/UpdateusUser, 14.7MB. Should I delete any of them other than the default one? Seems there is more data in the second one than the Default one. How were these created to begin with. I am the only user of this computer.

I had the same user on my machine a while ago.
It was created for one of the softwares auto updates, but I cant remember which software...
It was something important anyway... ie: apple, nvidia, mcaffee, etc...
Generally advised not to delete the DefaultProfile

Does having two OS's in dual-boot cause a second user's profile? I dual boot with Linux Ubuntu on this same machine. Could that be the other entries?
Not at all. Linux uses a different path for user accounts.
It also uses different filesystem type (ext) So you cant even see linux drives/files from Windows anyway.

you have recently installed nvidia? True?
Delete that profile updateususer.
Go to Programs and Features (in control panel) and uninstall nvidia update.
