I need immediate help. I think someone hacked me? Any network pros please HELP.

I was just trying to download a picture and then I saw this:

 

 

Send link to: " DESKTOP-VU5FNJ5 "

 

Who the hell is DESKTOP-VU5FNJ5? I checked network map in windows, there's no such computer or device connected locally or even remotely.  I checked router to see connected devices/clients and there's no DESKTOP-VU5FNJ5. I checked all my local IP's. I turned off all my connected devices, even my phone. Everything, restarted router and computer. This 

DESKTOP-VU5FNJ5

 

is still there.

 

 

PLEASE, what do I do? They might be stealing my info? What the f is this?

you ever sign into chrome somewhere other than your main computer?

That's just a feature of chrome.

If you feel that scared, reset your google password and you'll be fine

I'm using the same account across all my devices. What should I do?

Do you have another computer with Google chrome on it?

It is a new feature of google chrome, you can send your open tabs to other devices with google chrome and your google account on it, i have a selection for my phone and laptop. It seems to pick the model names for the devices, so the names are a bit weird.

Is desktop-vuwhateveritis your computer? Even if your on the same account it could still ask you if you want to send from one of your devices to the other.

It's not my computer name. I don't know who that is.

THANK YOU. I can see DESKTOP-VU5... listed there. Thanks, champ. It might have been caused by the fact that I used to have Windows 10 where I logged into my google account but I have Windows 7 now. Windows 10 creates such computer names. Thanks again. Problem solved.
