Something changed in my Terminal!

Question

Hello,
I am not too bad with Macs, but really don't know much about what happens in the Terminal.
I need a little help with something odd that happened since a few hours :
When I open the terminal, instead of getting
[name of my computer]:∼
I get vuzeon[name of my computer]:∼
Can anyone tell me what this means, and how to get back to "normal" ?
Thanks !

Type
echo $PS1
to see what your prompt is.  This is what it means:
PROMPTING
       When executing interactively, bash displays the primary prompt PS1 when it is ready
       to  read  a  command, and the secondary prompt PS2 when it needs more input to com-
       plete a command.  Bash allows these prompt strings to be customized by inserting  a
       number of backslash-escaped special characters that are decoded as follows:
              \a     an ASCII bell character (07)
              \d     the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May 26")
              \D{format}
                     the  format  is passed to strftime(3) and the result is inserted into
                     the prompt string; an empty format results in a locale-specific  time
                     representation.  The braces are required
              \e     an ASCII escape character (033)
              \h     the hostname up to the first `.'
              \H     the hostname
              \j     the number of jobs currently managed by the shell
              \l     the basename of the shell's terminal device name
              \n     newline
              \r     carriage return
              \s     the  name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the
                     final slash)
              \t     the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
              \T     the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
              \@     the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
              \A     the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format
              \u     the username of the current user
              \v     the version of bash (e.g., 2.00)
              \V     the release of bash, version + patch level (e.g., 2.00.0)
              \w     the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
              \W     the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated
                     with a tilde
              \!     the history number of this command
              \#     the command number of this command
              \$     if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
              \nnn   the character corresponding to the octal number nnn
              \\     a backslash
              \[     begin  a  sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to
                     embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt
              \]     end a sequence of non-printing characters
For example from my Terminal:
Path:~$
Path:~$echo $PS1
Path:\w\$
