Did i choose the host name for my computer?
my host name is dhnsjj91. i can see this by running ipconfig/all. where the heck did this come from? when I am in windows and I press ctrl alt delete, it says, you are logged on as dhnsjj91/newyawkr. I did not put the dhnsjj91 in there. is this a bot or some kind of spy device? how do i disable it.? I already disabled the guest account, which was turned on, but not by me. :-( Thanks for your help.

my daughter also uses it sometimes. She hasn%26#039;t changed anything. Also, when i first got it, it did not say dhnsjj91 when I pressed ctrl alt delete, it just said, newyawkr. i think i have been hacked but I am wondering for what purpose and what to do about it, also, does that person or persons still have access to my computer?

Best Answer

are you the only person to use and/or own your computer. the host name comes from when you set up windows. its either whoever set up windows on the computer or you been hacked

  • Who installed windows? When you install Windows it asks for a hostname, and if it was a younger person or a careless person they may have typed in random characters. I am not sure how/if you can change it without reinstalling Windows.
