I've got a problem with my PC. Just recently I've noticed there's computer with a weird name connected to mine under network. I can't remove it either, because apparently the only option is connecting. have i been hacked? please tell me how to get rid of it.

Do you have any other devices on your home network? Sometimes other hardware can have pretty weird names - for example my router is called "Brightbox" and appears both under 'Network Infrastructure' and 'Computer'. My BluRay player also shows up with some weird name when it's switched on.

It's gone now, i think it might of been my mother's work computer. seems to make sense in hindsight.
