Solved Virus.exe in network

[Axman508]

When I woke up this morning I found an odd network named Virus.exe in the Internet connections I have no idea what it is but I'm worried that it really is a virus anyone have any info/advice on what to do with this? This is a new network I have never seen one like this before In my life.

If you name a network something like virus.exe , it discourages others from piggybacking your connection.

Most people would look for another network instead of risking connecting to one with that name.

So if this is showing up on your list of wireless network connections it's just another network name "SSID".

I bet no average Joe neighbours would connect to that SSID under unsecured connection lol.
