What are these shared computers and how do I remove them from Finder?

I have four Macs on my closed, hidden wifi network. Two iMacs and Two macbooks. For some reason, two unknown computers are showing up on the network, but only on two out of the four macs, one imac and one macbook, incedentally the two units with built in SD card readers. They are: hp0025b3e8a8ca and hp3c4a921329ca. I'll post a screen shot. They both have one folder called MEMORY_CARD and I can't open it. I've double checked, I don't have SMB sharing enabled on any of my macs. They have the little icon associated with a windows machine. Any idea what these are and how I can remove them from finder? is someone else on my network?

How are u connected, as in ISP, University Network, etc.? I get shares like that too, as my ISP here in Nepal is using some crazy way of sharing connections with customers. I called and asked them once, but they have not clue about Macs. I suspect it's a technician doing some work in the office, who is tapped into the same C1 connection that I am using, but it is a bit disconcerting to see computers you don't know on your Network.
When I teach in Thailand, I am on a university system that will show all the users connected to the same hotspot. That's why I lock down my sharing when there. It's kinda crazy, as I don't really understand all the security settings and what they imply. It would be nice if there were a guide for home/small business Lans on what exactly the settings should be in OSX, but I suppose it's all out there in Google, somewhere...

  • Some bookmarks have "grown" a suffix of 3 characters âЄ . The bookmarks still work. What are these nutty suffixes and how do I remove them? Many have been "infected"?

    These suffixes are unwanted and have infected all my browsers Firefox and IE9. Some bookmarks are unaffected. This also happened on my previous PC running Windows Vista and IE8. I edited all the affected bookmarks to remove the suffixes, but now they're back.

    Upgrade your browser to Firefox ab and check

  • What are these random files and how do i stop them?

    I just bought my macbook pro about a month ago so I'm new to it. But recently, Ive noticed that randome movie files and pictures have been showing up under the "all documents" button in finder. Some of these pictures I recognize from photobooth, but they were taken on a different computer way before i even purchased this one. And other files like the movie files and some of the pictures are completely random and I've never seen them before. The movie files are short 10 sec films and the photos are just photos. anyone have a clue on whats going on here?

  • What are these .log files?  How do I turn them off/on?

    Recently I noticed that I am getting a .log file for every pdf I have.  I don't think I need them and would like to stop them from showing up.  How do I turn this off?

    When I looked up ghostscript, Wikipedia said "Ghostscript is a suite of
    software based on an
    interpreter<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)>
    for Adobe Systems <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Systems>".  Written
    by Artifax.  I do not remember loading any Artifax software.  Below is what
    is in one of these files.  they are named the same as the .PDF with an
    extension of .log (ie:  nu.pdf .. nu.log).   ???  Thanks, Mike

  • Why do i have to put my personal details on my ipod touch (address, card details...) for downloading free apps and how can i remove them from my ipod?

    i'm not comfortable having my details stored on my ipod and want to know the best way to remove them and how can i download free apps without having to put my personal details in, i'm not that bothered about apps i have to buy?   

    You can create a new iTuunes account that is only good for apps and it does not require a credit card. See:

  • In FF (30.0) Password Manager, when you open Edit, what are all the fields and how do you fill them in?

    When you open Edit, there are two choices: Web form and annotated.
    What is the difference?
    Then, there are fields for Host, Submit Prefix, Username, Password, etc.
    How do you fill in these fields?
    When you click to have the manager "Guess from Current Page," all fields don't necessarily get filled in, so is it just for username and password?
    I use the edit feature constantly, so it's a little odd not to see more detailed instructions here.
    When I click on Tools, the Saved Password Dialog is on the list, so it's on my toolbar all the time.
    I use it constantly.
    What is the latest in password security? I know there are competing ideas. What does Mozilla think?
    Thank you.

    Hmm, could this be a feature of your extension, "Saved Password Editor"? The support article ([[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]) doesn't show those changes when I switch the version from 29 to 30 in the left column.

  • What is a "short code" and how do I stop them from texting me?

    I started getting texts from what is apparently a short code in December.  Now I am getting them daily.
    I really need this to stop.  And yes, I tried replying "stop" and that hasn't helped.

    This sounds as if it is related to an app you had installed and then un-installed but are still receiving push notifications. This is sometimes how apps are able to get push notifications for their apps. The app signs your phone up for texting notifications to let the app know when there are updates, such as posts or status updates. Sometimes when the app is un-installed, it does not correctly remove the notification procedure. Sometimes the app does not correctly intercept the text which is what it is supposed to do before you get the notification that you have a new text. These do not normally show up in your text log and you are not charged for them.
    You may have to call CS to have this stopped. You can also check online for other methods as one example of a quick google search for "short code 6250"

  • What are these files that keep appearing on my desktop and how can I stop them from showing up?

    Ever since I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks, I've had these strange files show up on my desktop. The trouble is that they show up even a little while after I delete them. Here's a few examples:

    I've done a few virus scans, but they showed no viruses. Why are these files always popping up and how can I prevent them from appearing on my desktop again?

  • What are these startup items and are they harmfull

    Hello
    I Have a M55-S325. I have noticed some items on my startup list in system Configuration Utility
    TCtrlIOhook.exe
    TPSMain.exe
    Ltmoh.exe
    AGSMMSG.exe
    Apoint.exe
    TFncKy.exe
    So My Question is What are these and are they harmfull
    if so how do i remove them.
    PLEASE HELP

    Hi David,
    The items you have listed are genuine items use by your operating system although they may be stopped if you wish without doing any real harm. It will largely depend on whether you want to use any of the functions in which they are involved.
    For example, TCtrllOhook.exe and TPSMain.exe are associated with the Toshiba power management utility.
    Ltmoh.exe and AGRSMMSG.exe relate to you installed modem.
    Apoint.exe is associated with you pointing device (Touchpad or whatever).
    TFncKY.exe is related to the Toshiba function keys feature.
    Obviously, if you are not using your internal modem then the modem related items can be stopped without any ill effects, similarly the Toshiba Function keys.
    regards,
