Weird Network Name based on my PC

[baardie12]

Hi guys,

I'm not really sure where to post this but it's come to my attention that a new network has just appeared near me in the name of 'DIRECT-FQ'mycomputernamehere'msBI'.

No quotes for the computer name, but I was wondering what is this since I have not done anything, it's the name of my laptop which I only use for media/youtube but I have picked the network up on my phone and it's got a password. Any ideas on what to so since I have no idea what it is?

Edit:
Turning of my laptop removes the network so I'm assuming it's something on my laptop that has changed.

Sounds like your Laptop is creating an ad-hoc network (device to device).
For security sake dissable wifi immediatly.
What OS are you running?

try opening a command prompt and typing: netsh wlan delete profile DIRECT-FQ'mycomputernamehere'msBI'

Then reboot and see if it is there

Thanks, that worked and the network is gone!
