Hi guys



So earlier when i was using the wifi in the library. The right bottom corner of my task bar showed an icon that I rarely seen and when I clicked into it
it said that a device is connected/detected(i forgot) to my computer/network, and ask if i want to share windows media library with this person , (music, folder blah blah blah) which I denied.

the device had a name (it's a guy's name, henry pxxk) , which still cause my suspicious because I don't know if it is accidentally connected to my network or did it just fake a name to try to hack into my computer.


how did that device connected to my laptop without my permission? or was that simply a device that is connected to library's wifi which is why it showed up on my laptop? I was worried because I don't know if I am hacked or is it simply one of the things that happen when you are using public network.



please help, thanks!

If this is Windows 7 it's probably Homegroup, which is incredibly irritating because it'll try to sync everything between all the Win7 PCs given half a chance.
It probably hasn't connected. Windows has found it because it's connected to the same network you are.

btw it is not windows 7, it's vista, but it happened again as soon as i connected today so i don't think it is a problem, i just denied it.
